Ports/Input

 Specific SDI/HDMI input or inputs are

   inputs not working, see “Driver Issue”  

   section below

 These can present as no feed at all  

   from an input, fuzzy/blurry feed,

Test different cables and cameras, 

and confirm 

if the other inputs work. 

Verify DirectShow.

 In Wirecast’s add source 

dialog, press the three vertically stacked dots 

towards the top right of the window, and select 

“Show Duplicate Sources”. Now, under “System 

Devices” within Video Capture, choose the input 

that correlates with the video input you noticed 

the issue with. Note the result, and contact 

Telestream Support.

Restart the box.

recognizing the card. 

If SDI/HDMI is intermittent, it could be a bad 

capture card.
