After further discussion of the alternatives, putting it directly in the 
decklink module does seem like the least invasive option.  While it would be 
nice if this functionality could be shared with other realtime sources, the 
framework doesn’t really seem to lend itself to that and it seems like a good 
bit more trouble than it’s worth.

I withdrawal any objections I had to the original patch.
