See the BMD web site for minimum requirements.

A single P4 3GHz is OK for non-HD, but you need to have a fast enough disk subsystem and a high performance motherboard, it’s all on their web site.

If you follow their specs, it WILL work.

I’ve been working on a :
Single P4 3,2
Supermicro mobo
2Gb Ram
2x200Gb Hard Disk on Raid 0
Silicon Image SATA Controler

and I can capture without any problem 8bit/10bit SDI. I’m curently working with Music Videos and the rushes are about 2 hours, so for a 60min 10bit capture everything seems to work Perfect!

Yep, I’ve got a 3.2 Prescott and can capture 2+ hours without a dropped frame. I do have a 10-disc U320 array though.

Thanks that’s what I wanted to hear . I just need the station to encode that’s it .

10-disc U320… Snif! My P4 3.2E only sees a measly 3-drive WD Raptor 10K SATA RAID (+ a ditto system drive). Supermicro mobo, 2GB Corsair CAS 2-2-2 RAM.

Always captured in 10-bit and always perfectly, 45-60 minutes each time.

It is really really important, for 10-bit uncompressed especially, to follow BMD’s hardware specs. Don’t use desktop mobos, slower drives, etc. Many have tried…
