My hope is that offloading the CPU etc will allow for smaller capture buffers in the future, hopefully getting to less than two frame latency.

I'm hoping to do a big push with some of the broadcast clients. Believe me, I'll be testing thoroughly as well. I hope to collaborate with you on this.

Converting DVI to HD-SDI is always a culprit. Maybe someday there will be reasonably priced HD-SDI video graphics cards for OS X.

As far as operating system, I have scripts to turn dozens of things off but I've found myself shot in the foot for their functionality later.
