Pro vr Commercial

I want to find out if I can use TD Commercial or if I need Pro.

Pretty basic set up here. I have a camera that will be coming into the computer through a BlackMagic Design capture card yet to be determined. Then I’m doing some simple processing of the video feed, down sampling it and spitting back out.

I read that pro supports “NVIDIA SDI video in / out” I’m not sure if that’s specific to Nvidea cards and I can use commercial with a BlackMagic card?

Anyone know? I would likely be bringing in a HD-SDI signal, in the low cost solution it would be a HDMI input if that makes a difference.

Thanks!

You can use the Commercial version with Blackmagic cards. The Nvidia SDI cards on the ones that specifically need Pro.
The main benefit of Pro is the 6 hours of support that comes with it.
