Video Input

[FinnRoss]

the alchemy tv pci cards were used quite a lot - and they were pci or pci-x only - not sure.
im not sure whether you can get drivers any more.

I used two alchemy tv pic cards in two machines for a long time, worked very well, if you can't find the hard or software give XL video UK a shout as they bought 4 cards for a show we did which they supplied.

im not sure whether they work with tiger?

If people just want a single composite input, the decklink intensity Pro has composite input.

i just got the IoLD working in m150 build.

not sure about latency or performance but it seems to works,

the IoLD is a firewire to SDI box from AJA.

no promises about performance or latency...

I just got the Kona IoLD - firewire to sdi box - to work in m152

fixed a crash-

dont know latency or performance-

this is not a dv convertor - but an uncompressed sdi to firewire box.

While we're talking video input, does Catalyst work with the Kona 3 cards?

Time ago' i used for Catalyst V3,AURORA SYSTEM PIPE for composite input
together Black magic for SDI/COMPONENT/COMPOSITO input.

Remember you need to use PCI-X bus if you use old MAC G5


Using Cat V3 PRO i used succesfully this video card type
to have 2 video input:

DECKLINK BLACK MAGIC EXTREME SDI/COMPONENT/COMPOSITO
DECKLINK BLACK MAGIC SP COMPOSITO
AURORA SYSTEM PIPE S-VIDEO/COMPOSITO
AURORA SYSTEM FUSE-X S-VIDEO/COMPOSITO

You can use 1 DECKLINK + 1 AURORA simoultanuosly to have 2 video input,
this was solution because time ago' was not possible to use 2 decklink simoultanuosly.

Has anyone used the Decklink Intensity Pro with catalyst, either for DVI or Composite capture? Also are they usable together, i need two inputs of composite video and was looking at these.

Cheers
