  Need suggestion for choosing the best card for live events

  Posted by Dinesh Raj on January 28, 2015 at 7:26 am

  I am going to do a live event next month so i need help in finalizing the capture Card.

  In the event there are 4 cameras and all are connected to a Panasonic Mixer, from mixer there is a single sdi out to my pc where i have built a application which uses BMD driver to capture the live feed and do realtime effect processing it will push the feed out to Graphics card GTX titan from where i planning to connect the feed to a LED VIDEO WALL & to a wirecast for live broadcast.

  Please suggest me what kind of capture card should i have to go.

  So your PC is getting a single SDI output from the mixer. All you want to do is to get the video capture device to digitise video. Even a BM Decklink mini recorder can do that.

  The Decklink Studio 4K is uded for capture and playout of Ultra HD/HD/SD video. The included breakout cable gives you almost all analog/digital connections you can think of.
