DeltaCast

Video Input Device - Use Native Delta Cast Video as Input

The Native Delta Cast Video Input Device enables low-latency frame grabbing.
Smode requires a different Delta Cast Driver depending on the Smode version. You can download them here: http://download.smode.fr/utilities/Deltacast%20Drivers/
After creating the device, if you encounter the error 'stream is not running', you may need to recreate the device. To do so, right-click on it and select 'Recreate Device' or switch the 'Use Direct GMA or Gpu Direct' setting to off and restart Smode.

Troubleshoots

  1. If the device is not available in the Video Input list, check in the License settings if there is a 'Video In Pro' flag:
  2. For AMD FirePro or Radeon-Pro GPU, activate DGMA in Radeon pro settings and reboot the computer
  3. If you are not using deltacast to capture an Unreal stream , activate "Use Direct GMA Or GPU direct" in Prefrence-> General->Graphic context Configuration.
  4. If you are using deltacast to capture an Unreal stream , deactivate "Use Direct GMA Or GPU direct" in Prefrence-> General->Graphic context Configuration.
  5. For Nvidia GForce: GPU -> Disable gpu-direct in Smode Setting and reboot Smode.
  6. For AMD Radeon: GPU ->Disable direct-gma in Smode Setting and reboot Smode.
  7. For Nvidia Quadro: gpu-direct works fine.
  8. For Smode 9.1 and later versions, use the latest DeltaCast driver with the new installation process: VideoMaster_EndUsersInstallationGuide.pdf
  9. If not found in Device Manager or with an error warning, ensure that the BIOS Boot UEFI is in compatibility mode (not Windows UEFI but Others).
  10. If it appears in Device Manager but not in DCare, ensure the firmware update was successful. It may require running the install.bat file twice after two reboots.
