The tool provides a user- (well, actually a developer-) friendly printout of capabilities accessible via Blackmagic Design DeckLink SDK for DeckLink series of hardware. This covers features of DeckLink and Intensity series of hardware for video/audio capture, accessible via vendor’s SDK. The data is printed out in Markdown format, easy to read on its own…

The parameters of memory allocator in used are going in ALLOCATOR_PROPERTIES structure. typedef struct _AllocatorProperties { long cBuffers; // 30 long cbBuffer; long cbAlign; // 16…
