This is slightly off topic and should maybe
be private and I may have missed some pertinent
post but why are you doing this?
Those specs are sort of massively {insanely}
impressive and all but what's the point of so
many streams and so much hardware if you're not
running a full {fairly large} studio from one
computer?
I guess what I'm asking is "why"? Are you
actually trying to edit 6 streams at once?
Maybe streaming them back out? Do you just
have a lot of stuff to capture?
