    type: integer
    description: This controls the amount of buffering in the DeckLink driver/library. Increase this if you get video tearing or choppy audio. However, as you increase the amount, you increase the risk of audio and video becoming out of synchronization.

    title: Enable Keyer
    type: integer
    description: Keying is the process of compositing MLT output over a live SDI input. The alpha channel of the MLT video controls the transparent areas, and the keyer supports alpha-blending. You can not control the compositing rectangle. Rather, the entire MLT output overlays the entire video input. Therefore, you must use MLT's compositing services to control the size and position. The value 1 enables the internal keyer, the value 2 enables the external keyer, and the value 0 disables it.

    title: Key Opacity
    type: float
    description: This controls the level of blending between the key and the input video. 1 is fully opaque and something near 0 is transparent. However, absolute 0 is considered as "not supplied" and also fully opaque. 0.5 is an evenly balanced blending of the key and input video.
