Decklink

Currently we're adding support for Decklink capture devices, here are just some notes about the development.

  Linux
  -----
      - You need to download the DeckLink SDK
      - On Linux you use compile with the DeckLinkAPI.cpp and link with libDeckLinkAPI.so which 
        is loaded automatically when you installed desktop video. 
      - Download the Desktop Video AUR package on Arch Linux: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/decklink/
      - Extract the tarbal 
      - Run `makepkg -s`  (-s installs dependencies)
      - Install with: `sudo pacman -U decklink-10.2.1a1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz`

  Windows
  --------
      - Download the DeckLink SDK       
      - Copy the contents of `include/*` from the DeckLink SDK to `extern/win-vs*-*/include/decklink/

TODO:

• On Windows we need to set the desired framerate
• We probably want to pass a device index to getOutputFormats()
