i added gem-dev, because i guess there will be more specialists in this field. forgive the cross-posting...
anyhow:
someone suggested cards by blackmagic/aja.
since they are too expensive to be bought without knowing whether they will actually work: does anybody know whether they can be used with Gem? (and/or any other software that uses standard interfaces)

hi.

afair, using firewire adds quite a bit of latency. are there any PCI(e) devices that have better performance? (on linux i am very happy with bttv-based cards)
it has to work with Gem. it should work with OSX-10.5.2 on a brandnew apple-desktop (don't ask me any details :-))

hello,
/ Blackmagic cards, maybe this can help : http://createdigitalmotion.com/2007/05/08/real-time-uncompressed-hd-mixing-o...
"All in all, it’s pretty easy to get set up and running, and it works like a charm. Pd and GEM run on OS X, Linux and Windows, but there are no Blackmagic Intensity Drivers under Linux, so open source software junkies are out of luck here."
I've also used recently cheaper miglia alchemyTv which was pretty fast, not top top quality, but... not anymore sold, it was working fine on mac os 10.4 for motion capture and http://www.miglia.com/Support/alchemytv/index.php

Try the Blackmagic Intensity Pro which is under $350 USD (that's about 12 Euros now). It has analog inputs for SD and HD and HDMI too. The latency is not bad in GEM and it runs for months and months with no problems. Make sure you have the most recent pix_videoDarwin that accepts both device and input messages if you need to set the input at the patch level.
The AJA Kona cards are great if you need SDI or want really top notch support for the device. They do overnight replacement of cards under warranty at their cost in the US.

Does anyone has recommendations on high quality cards working on Linux?
cheers, PP

I think AJA has drivers for Linux now to support some SGI systems.
Please post a new topic on this so it will be easier to search later!
Define high-quality?
I've been using bttv cards with gem for years now and they are very stable and ood quality (NTSC video itself is not great quality anyhow).
I have a could cx88 cards, but I've been unable to get them to play with Gem as of yet, but I've not tried in almost two years due to my master's study and having a couple of the old bttv cards.
Does anyone make non mpeg encoder cards for tv input anymore?
