Difference between Datapath HD4 and Vision HD4+

[goldew]

Hi guys I am presently using EMS imaging Xtreme RGB Ex2+ capture cards in my Watchout servers.. I am planing to upgrade my capture cards.. I am looking at Datapath VisionHD4 or Datapath VisionSC-HD4+.. Can anyone tell me the difference between these 2 cards and reviews with Watchout .. And can I capture 4 individual inputs simultaneously?

Haven't used these specific cards within Watchout, however had had great success with Datapath cards in general both within Watchout and other uses.

 

Here's the difference:

 

The SC Series(VisionSC-HD4+) has 2x 4K(3840x2160)/30p inputs and 2x 1080/60p inputs

The AV series(VisionHD4) has 4x 1920x1200(max, can be configured for 1080p30 or lower) inputs

 

Hope this helps.

In vision SC HD4+ can I take 4 x 1920x1080?

Both cards can provide four 1920 x1080 @ 60p.

The SC series can go beyond that by providing 3840x2160 @ 30p on two of its inputs.

Thank you very much sir.. My main goal was to get 4 x 1080p.. And since its new card I can hope for less latency ..

Latency will not vary among DataPath cards.

True, as long as the Datapath card you're using supports "LiveStream" (capture technology) http://www.datapath.co.uk/datapath-technology/311-livestream-technology
