I have been working with these for several months. Unfortunately, last time I spoke with Hauppauge, they intended the VCB units for OEM sales only. Hauppauge, however, is willing to work with small companies if you will make a minimum order (20 units if i recall correctly). > I did some looking into these cards some time agao, too. They looked like an ideal solution for someone doing low-end video capture for such security systems, but unless you did some fancy field work, you'd still need one card for every camera attached (AFAIK). On ther other hand; If you had a way of pulling 5fps from each composite input, you'd still only have 15fps worth of bandwidth going to the disk, which would be quite reasonable, especially using mjpeg encoding like Lokigames and XawTV does. Is it possible to get a bt8x8 to switch inputs 15 times a second, though? -- -=|JP|=- "This space intentionally left blank."
