[AG-TECH] Limit for number of video devices?

[John I Quebedeaux Jr]

Almuth,

Simulstream is the Osprey's software for allowing multiple  
applications to access the same stream. It  isn't usually needed for  
AG use unless you're requiring that multiple applications are needing  
access to the same stream. For example,  It could be useful if you  
wanted to web-stream your outputs as well as have VIC transmit them.  
If you look, you now have multiple copies of the same stream  
available to you.... from each capture.
