Any time you use firewire for live there will be latency. Even with hardware firewire encoders.
It doesn’t matter to some people but it matters alot to others. If you are thinking about adding IMAG into the equation, it becomes even a bigger deal. as projectors also add in latency. A little here and a little there add up to a bad japanese movie dub.. 😉
How long are you running the firewire cables?

One problem that I’ve seen with using Firewire for live switching is that it has such HIGH latency.
For most professional projects, the latency is why they don’t use firewire cameras. Also you are limited to short camera cables with firewire.. Not a chance of doing a quality multi camera sporting event, play, etc with firewire because the cameras have to be so close to the computer.
Just a few more things to consider when making your decision.
