RE: HD Capture Card (HDMI and Component) output raw pixels

Hi Jim,

The Balckmagic Card does not seem to have any hardware compression, for me
that's a drawback, but if that's what you want it may be the right thing.

I want to avoid RAID 0 disks if I can.

It appears to be supported by Linux in the GStreamer bad pluggins, it's
called decklinksrc.  There is another allied one called the DeckLink mini
recorder also from Blackmagic PCIe for $145  it's on the same site, so you
might like to have a look at that too.

Blackmagic also provide a Linux SDK and some linux tools.  If you can't find
them I'll send you a link.

I'm going to buy one for testing over the next month or so, so if you want
to keep in touch, I'll let you know how it goes.

Regards

Steve

Hi Steve,

I haven't found a Capture card yet.  The KernelLabs drivers are only
available to commercial buyers, not for personal use.

The Blackmagic card you mentioned looks good.  Do you know if that card
captures in a raw uncompressed format?  Also, do you know if it's supported
by Linux?

Jim

I have the same question.  I'm about to try the Blackmagic 
Design Intensity Pro for a bit under $200.

Any othe hints welcomed.

Ditto,
