[AG-TECH] 4 x S-video capture?

[Almuth Barta]

Hi,

my vendor for the Osprey 440 card asked Viewcast for the s-Video pins 
and got the information, that the documentation was written before the 
design of the card was finished and finally, there are no pins for S-Video.
I use the composite Video signal of the camera and the BNC connectors of 
the card.
