you dont want to do sdi video input with 2 days notice-

you need something that works-

suggest active silicon-

historically decklink drivers have not worked very reliably for low latency input-
And latency is the most important thing of all

Latency is no problem, decklink have good price and only thing is that is it workig witch catalyst?

no its not tested with catalyst

so whatever the price you paid its not relevant - price is useless if it doesnt work

these cards have only just been delivered to any customers - this week

you just dont want to take any risks with any clients on stuff delivered this week....

things like this need a couple of months

I Have tested card now, Its working, latency is lower in comparison witch 1 in decklink, I need to borrow tool to measure latency from friends from TV truck.
