GrandTec USA, has a 4 input port bt878 based capture card. However, you can only capture from one port at time. You can switch between ports and capture at lower rates. Their usefulness depends on your application. As a security system running a few frames per second or less they work great. If you run your cameras off AC and get cameras that support AC line locking you'll find you can switch between the cameras with less loss of sync during the switch. By the way, if you do decide to buy the GrandTec card, buy it from http://www.allthings.com.au, (CAP 4 CH) even if its an international order. The US distributor wanted 3 times as much as the total order cost from this seller in AU. This was the case the last time I ordered some about a year ago. -- Brian Litzinger <brian@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Copyright (c) 2000 By Brian Litzinger, All Rights Reserved
