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.

HI Brian,

Would it be possible for you to reply with the modules.conf settings for

this capture card. As I am have problems with getting a stable picture
for this card.

Many Thanks
Peter
