2.4.4 DeckLink Device Notification

A callback notification can be provided to an application when a Thunderbolt or USB 3.0 based DeckLink device is connected or disconnected.

An application that supports connection notification should perform the following steps:

• Create a callback class that subclasses IDeckLinkDeviceNotificationCallback and implements all of its methods. The callback class will be called asynchronously from an API private thread. Create an instance of the callback class.

• Call IDeckLinkDiscovery::InstallDeviceNotifications() and provide the IDeckLinkDeviceNotificationCallback object.

• IDeckLinkDeviceNotificationCallback::DeckLinkDeviceArrived() is called for all currently connected devices.

• When a DeckLink device is connected after the initial reporting of devices then IDeckLinkDeviceNotificationCallback::DeckLinkDeviceArrived() will be called.

• When a DeckLink device is removed, IDeckLinkDeviceNotificationCallback::DeckLinkDeviceRemoved() is called on an API-private thread.

• Before the application exits, call IDeckLinkDiscovery::UninstallDeviceNotifications().
