I know... the numbers are really a mess.

What about supporting the mode strings? They are constant:

bmdModeHD1080i50 = /* 'Hi50' */ 0x48693530

At least for capture this is IMO a benefit:

ffmpeg -f decklink -i 'DeckLink Duo at Hi50'

For playout... well if the automatic detection works and interlaced flag
is always correct, fps is always correct (30 vs 29.97)... to be honest:
if I'd do a setup, I'd sleep better with an explicit mode. But yeah, not
those numbers.
