I'm using an Intensity Pro 4K to capture with ffmpeg via the decklink commands.
According to the documentation:
video_input
Sets the video input source. Must be ‘unset’, ‘sdi’, ‘hdmi’, ‘optical_sdi’, ‘component’, ‘composite’ or ‘s_video’. Defaults to ‘unset’.
audio_input
Sets the audio input source. Must be ‘unset’, ‘embedded’, ‘aes_ebu’, ‘analog’, ‘analog_xlr’, ‘analog_rca’ or ‘microphone’. Defaults to ‘unset’.
So I set -video_input hdmi, which guarantees I will get the video via HDMI even if the Blackmagic driver is set to something else (e.g., component, which for some reason every time I reboot it gets reset to component).
But, while I get video, I don't get audio. I tried setting -audio_input to embedded (no effect) aes_ebu, and microphone (not supported by device error).
So, I still have to go to the Blackmagic video drivers and switch the input signal to HDMI.
Is there a way to specify the hdmi audio feed together with the hdmi video feed on the ffmpeg command line?
Reference
Full command I am using:
ffmpeg -rtbufsize 1500M -f decklink -video_input hdmi -i "Intensity Pro 4K@20" -pix_fmt yuv420p -c:a copy -c:v v210 abc.mov
list_formats output:
E:\>ffmpeg -f decklink -list_formats 1 -i "Intensity Pro 4K"
