Having considered a number of input cards and reading a lot of opinions on the forum I had kind of made up my mind on the Grand X 9-port, until I read
My card is an x-guard grandtec 9 camera and it only has one bt878 chip, hence with all cams I don't get a great frame rate.

No need to apologise, I was merely posting that I had taken a punt on the card, I'd seen that someone else had eventually had success with

I hadn't appreciated that WIKI section was even there. I only just found out what a WIKI is!
aparantly the wiki way is taking everything by storm. Its yet to hit me but im wondering if companies will start adding wiki to their name like they did with com and net!!
