SDI Capture and Hardware VNC-Servers.

[Saltasnubben]

Hi all.

 

I have just built a couple of new Display Computers that looks like this:

 

WIN7 PRO 64bit

ASUS P9X79 DELUXE X79 S-2011 ATX

INTEL CORE I7 3930K 3.20GHZ 12MB S-2011

32GB of KINGSTON HYPERX GENESIS 1600MHZ DDR3 CL9 XMP

ASUS RADEON HD7970 DCII TOP 3GB GDDR5 PCI-E DVI/DP

1 x CORSAIR FORCE GT SERIES 3 2.5" 120GB SSD MLC (SYSTEM)

2 x CORSAIR FORCE GT SERIES 3 2.5" 120GB SSD MLC (RAID-0 DATA)

CORSAIR H100 HYDRO CPU COOLER

 

I have not decided what kind of capture card i will mount in them.

 

In most applications we would have HD-SDI from a production mixer coming in.

Anyone that can point me to a good and tested capture card?

I have looked at:

DeckLink HD Extreme with dual SDI inputs.

But for getting external computers in VNC is crisp but framerate is bad.

 

Have anyone tried any Hardware VNC Servers like:

Adderlinks iPeps

http://www.adder.com/products/adderlink-ipeps#specification

or

Blackboxs ServSwitch Wizard IP Plus

http://www.blackbox.com/Store/Detail.aspx/ServSwitch-Wizard-IP-Plus/ACR2005A

 

The latter claiming to support 1080p Video. and both VGA and DVI

if this works it would be perfect as the speakers coming in late with their own PC/MAC can just plug it in.

Mattias,

 

>DeckLink HD Extreme with dual SDI inputs.

 

This card has only 1 input, the other is for 3D

 

Use Decklink Duo or Datapath VisionSDI2 (faster & 3G-SDI capable)

For DVI/HDMI/VGA in your usage scenario, forget VNC, framerate will always be to low.

 

Use Datapath VisionRGB E2s instead.

Ok thanks Jonas. Datapath VisionSDI2 it is then.
