Two intensity pro cards is another option. Works if you have the right resolution you can input to them.
Hi ryanww
Thanks for reply.
That's reminds me, Intensity can't use Two cards same time. Am i wrong?
I tried it before, but, MAC couldn't recognized two cards.
Yea, you can use two at the same time. I believe 3 is the limit though. I have two in my server.
what about the latency compared to a phoenix card?
can anyone confirm 3?
Really ? I didn't know that.
Thanks. I will check.
Don't know what the actual latency is. But I know its more latent then any phoenix card. Phoenix cards are really great cards for inputs. But if you don't have the money for them, don't care about the additional little bit of latency, and can get the correct format that the Intensity likes then it works. The highest it will go is 1080i@50. And its picky. Very picky.

Duo is great for graphics/keynote as it supports 1080p25/30 and 1080psf25/30 very nicely.
For live camera stuff, don't bother. Latency increases with system load. With a couple of layers of HD running, latency can hit a good 250ms.
Hi Ryan,
we've been trying to run 2 Intensity Pro cards in our Catalyst system and although we can run either card independently, as soon as we run both inputs, one card stops sending the live input and loops on what we're guessing is on the buffer.
Did you have to do anything to get your two Intensity pro card working? Any tips? We're out of ideas on that score and had pretty much given it up as impossible, but clearly it's not...
We're contemplating adding a Decklink Mini Recorder to see if that might work for us, in conjunction with an Intensity Pro. We need two inputs, and for this job, the LFG4 isn't going to cut it...
Thanks
What format of capture are you needing? SDI? Composite?
