Download MovieRecorder and OnTheAir Video Express  (http://softron.tv/downloads.html) 

Download and install the drivers for the Blackmagic-Design Decklink card (link available 

on the downloads page of our website - requires to restart the computer - a Firmware 

upgrade may be necessary after restart) 

Change the connector mapping of the Decklink Quad 2 

Before starting your Softron application, you will need to change the connector mapping of 

the Quad 2 card. Indeed, by default connectors are “paired” and if you leave it like that, you 

will only be able to have 4 inputs and 4 outputs. Inputs 5-8 won’t be available. 

To change the connector mapping, start the 

application “Blackmagic Desktop Video Utility”, and 

then: 

Click on the settings icon for the “Decklink 

Quad (1)” device 

 

At the bottom of the “Decklink Quad (1)" 

setting page, change the “Connector 

Mapping” to SDI 1 instead of “SDI 1 & SDI 2” 

Click on “Save” 

Repeat the same operation for the devices 

"Decklink Quad (2)", "Decklink Quad (3)" and 

"Decklink Quad (4)". 

That’s it!
