[AG-TECH] Cameras used for vic HDMI version 1.1 beta

[Douglas Kosovic]

Hi Gurcharan,

I don't have first hand experience with anything other than the 
Intensity (HDMI) and Intensity Pro (HDMI and analog component).

I'm pretty certain some additional work will be required for VIC to 
properly support the Blackmagic Linux driver. I think VIC's V4L & V4L2 
grabber code will drop the resolution down to 480i/480p (or 576i/576p) 
for "large" capture, there may also be a need to support whatever 
pixelformat the Blackmagic Linux driver uses.


Cheers,
Doug
