# Deltacast VideoMaster driver / SDK

Drop the **Deltacast VideoMaster** Linux installer into this directory.

## Required file

| File | Notes |
|------|-------|
| `VideoMaster*.run` **or** `VideoMaster*linux*.tar.gz` | The VideoMaster SDK + driver installer for Linux. Contains the `videomasterhd` kernel module sources and the `install.sh` driver installer. |

Example names: `VideoMaster-6.25.0.run`, `VideoMaster_6_25_Linux.tar.gz`

The installer reads the **newest** matching file.

## Where to get it

Deltacast → Products → *SDK* (<https://www.deltacast.tv/products/sdk>). Request
the VideoMaster Linux package (licence-gated) and copy the `.run` self-extractor
or the `.tar.gz` here unmodified.

## What the install script does

1. Ensures `linux-headers-$(uname -r)`, `build-essential`, `dkms` are present.
2. Runs the vendor installer:
   - `.run`  → executed with `--noexec --target <dir>` then its `install.sh`,
   - `.tar.gz` → extracted, then its bundled `install.sh` is run.
3. Loads the Deltacast module (`modprobe videomasterhd` / vendor load script).
4. Verifies a `/dev/deltacast*` device node appears.

A **reboot may be required** after a first-time VideoMaster install (udev rules
+ firmware). The script reports this explicitly.
