Hi Earns,
it entirely depends on what resolution and hence what quality you require.
As Nev said the active silicon LFG 4 will give you 4 composite inputs.
If you need a better quality then the active silicon Phoenix cards will give you two SD-SDI intputs or one HDSDI input.
Whith both types of active silicon cards the drivers support multiple cards.
You can also have a mixture of Phoenix, LFG4 and decklink cards in your mac.

If your cameras don't output SDI but do output component then there are a nummber of converters on the market. I've used the tv one YPbPr/DVI to SDI boxes with Sony Z1 into Phoenix cards and it's worked well.

Hope that helps
Paul

Intensity PRO inuts are: HDMI or component

if you want 'composite' at PAL ot NTSC resolution, you would be better selecting an Actve silicon LFG card
if you want SDI or HD-SDI - Actve silicon Phoenix PE4 card

Do contact me if you want to try out any of these cards to ensure that they will do what you need to do.
