 To run it from Linux, just enter <tt>MediaExpress</tt> in a terminal.  For best results it requires a 1920x1200-resolution monitor.  It is still usable at lesser resolutions, although some of the UI will be cropped.
+I used MediaExpress to verify that I could do a basic capture and playback before I moved onto working directly with the SDK.  To do so, start the program and select Preferences from the Edit menu.  The top two drop downs control the input and output formats.  The DeckLink does ''not'' have automatic source-format detection, so you must select the correct format, or nothing will appear in the capture/playback pane.
+For example, to capture from the LG phone, ensure that the phone's HDMI setting is 1080p, then select 1080p 60 from MediaExpress's Preferences.  Your output choices are limited at 1080p60, so just select 8-bit YUV.  After clicking Ok, you should see a mirror of the phone's screen in the top-right pane.  Any changes on the phone's screen should be reflected in the display pane.  You can then use the Start Capture button or menu item to record raw video.  Any video you record can be played back by double clicking on the clip listing in the top-left pane.  You can also grab screenshots, which are saved as TARGA files.
