I don't use Decklink, but what you did is to provide the input options
"-pixel_format uyvy422 -framerate 60 -f dshow" only to the first input
"-i". The three others ffmpeg doesn't realize are DShow devices. You
need to provide your input option before *every* input.

Wrong syntax, actually.

I have no idea, but my guess is that it will work.

That may be a Decklink limitation, or have to do with the actual input.
BTW. 59.94 is also wrong or at least inprecise, you should probably
write it as "60000/1001", as ffmpeg accepts rationals.
