Hi,
I need to capture two video streams from two DV camcoders connected to a Mac Pro via firewire. It's for a live streaming over internet, switching between two video sources.
If I turn on both of the cameras I can still see only one DV-VCR signal on OS X. I think this is due to the firewire controller in the Mac Pro, which can handle only one video stream at time.
So, could I find a solution buy an extra firewire adapter card?
I found something like this:
4 Port PCI Express 1394a FireWire Adapter Card - 3 External 1 Internal

Assuming that the adapter card is compatible with the Mac Pro, it should allow me to handle two distinct DV streams... am I right?
Has anyone tried that?
thank you in advance!
