HD Capture Cards

Other HD capture cards available and possibly useful:

• DVS
  • DVS HDStationOEM
• AJA
  • KONA cards
  • XENA cards
• BlackMagic Design
  • DeckLink High Definition
• Optibase
  • VideoPump (can't find that but it seems to be related to MediaPump) - but it was used by ResearchChannel for prototyping HD over IP
• bluefish444
  • HD|Fury et al. cards

However, these cards are usually intended for editing and thus not optimized for latency. Mike Wellings reported interesting results about card latencies. Other cards possibly supported in Linux are listed at Linux Media Art Cinerella page.
