Multimedia SDK: FAQ

What is the difference between Start(0) and Start(1)?
Start(1) uses "direct connection" - the sink graph (e.g MG Decklink Sink) will control the playing rate.
Start(0) does not affect on rate and is used for preview.
In short - for master video output use Start(1). For secondary (e.g. preview) output use the Start(0).
Only one sink graph with Start(1) is preferable (exception - two or more output cards synced via external genlock).
Note: Start(0/1) does not affect on the source objects (e.g. Playout or Live Source).
