Decklink Quad 2 - more than 4 inputs in Arena 5 ?

[Ole-jan]

Hi to all!
I have BM Decklink Quad 2 on my server. Default settings works perfectly - 4 in and 4 outs simultaneously. But now I need in more, than 4 inputs. In Arena capture devices there are 8 Decklink sources - 4 of them is inputs, and I can configure resolution, connecning type and so on. And another 4 sources - outputs, and they have not any settings to configure, so, I cant add more than 4 inputs from declink quad 2.
All of connectors in Connector mappig of Desktop Video Utily - half duplex, and in BM Media Express I can see capture signal from connector, which resolume means like output, so, all of 8 connectors works like inputs

So, my idea is - resolume supports only default settings of decklink quad 2?
Has anybody positive experience with more than 4 inputs??

Thank you, but I have already seen this video, and know about connector mapping an so on. My problem is unavailability to configure decklink sources 5-8 in resolume, there are no settings - resolution, connection, like in decklink sources 1-4

Did you custom map your decklink card with the blackmagic software!?

[Ole-jan]

Yes, shure, I set up all connectors for half duplex, but nothing changes in resolume. Sourses 1-4 works good, sources 5-8 have not any settings, like usually capture devise has. But in BM Media express all of 8 connectors works correct like inputs, and I see signal from each of 8 connectors

And you don't have I/O 5 through 8 engaged as ouputs in Arena, correct?

[Ole-jan]

5 through 8 engaged I can set only output in advanced, and it works good. But I cant set it as inputs, due to the lack of settings of capture device. 1-4 has settings, 5-8 has not

[Ole-jan]

No, at the time, when I testing 5-8 inputs, they dont engaged as ouputs in Arena

We have succesfully used up to 8 inputs at the same time.
Bear in mind that the BMD cards tend to lose their settings while rebooting!

You need to check connector mapping after every restart.
They dont apear in Resolume 5 when not configured the right way.
