Phase Two…
Amongst all of the other projects and stuff I have to get to, I’ve been trying to put together a PC for the purpose of capturing HDMI video for editing. I was given an old PC to resurrect, but after opening it up, the age of the machine won’t allow for it. I’m now locked into building a new system.
I’ve been out of the loop for awhile, so I’m researching the current crop of PC motherboards. The main requirement is a PCIe slot for the Blackmagic Intensity Pro capture card. I was given the card today, so I can spec out a board, chip, memory and case. As always, price is a consideration, which means this has to happen with little or no budget.
*sigh*
I have to admit – I’m more than a little intrigued by the Intensity Pro card, and can’t wait to get it into a system. If for no other reason than to see how performs. If successful, the info gleaned here may be useful on another project of mine. The box says that multiple cards can be installed to control multiple cameras, so it’s worth investigating.
It’s shaping up to be a fun side project. I’ll keep you posted on it’s progress…
