Intensity shuttle / Decklink data flow
I am contemplating between buying intensity shuttle or the Decklink Series
Basically I may use it to edit several layers of mixed footage – HDV / DV / Mpeg2 /Pal /Ntsc / Youtube stuff / nested clips with video effects / titles etc.
Some users have reported playing several layers smoothly without the need to render.
My question is, does any of then above card help in streaming multiple compressed data from normal hard disks? Or they are only capture and monitoring cards?
Decklink cards say, 3 Gb / s of data transfer. While Intensity shuttle uses USB 3.0. Does several streams of data travel first to the card and then to the editing software? How does the data flow?
