Tran, I'm not a 100% sure about that, only about the card's inputs. Maybe Nathan or Doug could verify that??? Nathan, Doug: Also, I understand that linux drivers are due out next month for the BlackMagic card. Will additional work be required to take advantage of that?

Gurcharan,

Thank you for your reply. So hdvic doesn't necessary require an HDMI input? I could use either HDMI or HD-SDI i.e. the BlackMagic DeckLink HD Pro or DeckLink HD Extreme?

Thanks, Quang

Tran,

Note that the more expensive model of the BlackMagic card does have an SDI input if i'm not mistaken.

We have used a video scaler box to take the VGA out of a laptop and feed

it into the BlackMagic card so the HDvic could be used to transmit the presenter's desktop. that worked well for up to about 20 fps or less.

Fyi,
