[AG-TECH] Capture Cards

[John I Quebedeaux Jr]

Same. I've gotten it to work with Linux, but only one version of  
Redhat with the box I had and now i forget which - might have been FC3  
at the time. Flexibility was limited in Linux but works with Windows  
fine. I've run 4 streams in 640x480 on the Osprey 440 in h261as  
simultaneously with no issues on a quad core box.

Note: it does NOT have svideo connections even though internally you  
can wire the card for it supposedly on the internal blocks (i have no  
idea how one would run the cables to that to the card - a breakout  
connector/cable would have been "nice" to have on this card which they  
don't). I used the RCA to BNC adaptors that it came with and simply  
ran RCA video cable and it was fine. SVideo would have been preferred,  
but in the room i have the distances are short and we didn't notice  
any signal issues.
