What I want to do is to capture the output of 4 pcs from a single server. Therefore I am looking for capture card that can capture more then one stream, but in the worst case I would buy 4 cards. Unfortunately the DVI signal I want to cature is only digital DVI so can't use cheap analog capture cards. Here my wishlist of features: - capturing of one or more digital DVI streams with a single card - encoding/compression of the video on the capture card (so I don't need a very fast computer) - a very low framerate of 5 to 10 frames per second - resolution around 1024x768 - full Linux support, of course Any idea if something like this exists? Or how I could realise such a setup? Thanks a lot, Fabian
