[AG-TECH] Multi input capture

[Jon Johansson]

I have a list of multiple input capture cards below. I would
like to put together some comments about these cards, so if you
have experience with these cards (good and bad) and have found
quirks in making them work please pass them on and I'll send
the result back to this list. All of these should be able to
simultaneously capture 4 video streams with an image size
of 640x480 pixels and 30 fps per channel for NTSC unless I've
misunderstood the docs. Are there other cards that are
working for people?

Thanks,
Jon.
