[AG-TECH] Winnov Videum Duo and Quattro

[Hubert Daugherty]

Hello,

I have not used the Duo or Quattro cards from Videum.  But, I have used 
3 of
the 1000 VO plus cards in a Dual Xeon system.  These cards work great.  
Best
of all, they're 3.3 volt compatable. 

With all three cards running full tilt, the display service, and the rat 
running
audio I'm still only using about 55% of the 4 cpu threads
available.  (With the hyperthreading and 2 CPUs you get 4 execution 
threads).

This system is running both the 2.2 and 1.2 AG software on Windows XP.

I'm running a two projector and one console display subsystem.  The 
console is
run using the motherboard video subsytem and the two projectors are 
driven (using
DVI video cables) by a PNY NVS 400.

The only gotcha is that I don't know how to set the video resolution 
default to CIF.  The
vic encoders insist on starting up in 320x240 mode.  So, at the start of 
a session, I have to
manually change the resolution of the capture driver in vic.
