There is a PCIe with one video in and a PCI with three. It does seem to be supported in the manner that would allow DVswitch to work anyway. For what I want, a few webcams (nicer than the last $3 one I got) for wide shots would probably fill out my needs. If I was going to do serious work, I might go for the blackmagic card just for the internal effects. For $295 it might be worth it to get the switcher/keyer even if I never used the external connections. Then again, with a whole switcher at $1k with 8 inputs and use the computer as a control surface, one starts to wonder why try to do the job with a computer anyway. The BBC SW probably goes beyond what I want/need anyway. Though it was an interesting read. -- Len Ovens www.OvenWerks.net _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
