If the decklink has a coreaudio driver, DP should see it.

As far as 5.1 encoding, a.pack that comes with DVDSP will do dolby digital. Also, there is a program from surcode that can do DTS, but it's spendy.

Thanks for your response !

I appologize for not being clear regarding dp 4 / 4.5
seeing my Black Magic Decklink Uncompressed Video capture and edit card... (which I use to work with DigiBeta material in FCPHD)

What I was refering to is if you are scoring to a Movie clip, and when you opening the movie in dp 4 there is a viewing options to choose from, Mac Firewire, DVCPRO, etc. . This is how it come up on my G4 (also running FCPHD on it but no Capture Card...)
It looks as though dp 4 sees what is available for Video (Movie) playback from the NLE (FCPHD).

I see in other threads that there are people using the Aurora VIDEO Capture card with dp so I am hopingthe Decklink caards don't have any quirky
effects....

Regarding Coreaudio I us a Tascam FW-1884.
