just for my curiousity, will you please give an example/use_case how to use these filters?

Here is a shell script:

#!/bin/bash
UNIX_TIMESTAMP=`date +%s`
TS=$((UNIX_TIMESTAMP*1000000 + 2500000))
ffmpeg -nostdin -nostats -stream_loop -1 -i input1.mp4 \
 -vf "format=uyvy422,cue=$TS:preroll=0.5:buffer=0.5" \
 -af "acue=$TS:preroll=0.5:buffer=0.5" -f decklink "DeckLink Duo (1)" &
ffmpeg -nostdin -nostats -stream_loop -1 -i input2.mp4 \
 -vf "format=uyvy422,cue=$TS:preroll=0.5:buffer=0.5" \
 -af "acue=$TS:preroll=0.5:buffer=0.5" -f decklink "DeckLink Duo (2)" &
ffmpeg -nostdin -nostats -stream_loop -1 -i input3.mp4 \
 -vf "format=uyvy422,cue=$TS:preroll=0.5:buffer=0.5" \
 -af "acue=$TS:preroll=0.5:buffer=0.5" -f decklink "DeckLink Duo (3)" &
ffmpeg -nostdin -nostats -stream_loop -1 -i input4.mp4 \
 -vf "format=uyvy422,cue=$TS:preroll=0.5:buffer=0.5" \
 -af "acue=$TS:preroll=0.5:buffer=0.5" -f decklink "DeckLink Duo (4)" &

We are doing something similar to drive 16 TVs in a studio set simultaneously.

Marton
