    Can I burn out a camera from a laptop running live video?

    I am curious if there is a possibility of burning out circuits in a
    camera if I am running THREE live to a laptop –

    2 – on a PCIMIA card
    1 – into the laptop firewire port

    All running at the same time.

    In the past I had to repair 2 camera because of a problem, but I thought it was a faulty firewire cable with bent pins, but now that they are prepared, I want to be sure I don’t come across the problem again.

    Any thoughts?

    I would say you’ll probably burnout the laptop before you burnout the cameras.

    But, if there is a defective part somewhere, anything can happen.
