Hello, we have 4 analog camcorders that we are using on separate PC's using Dazzle USB capture devices. We have installed video distribution amplifiers at each PC to split the video and audio so that we can cable back to our server room to record.
My first questions are what type of card would be best in the server to capture the video and audio? Is there specific software for each card manufacturer or is one better than the other? We would like to create .mpg files and prefer to have them split into smaller files as opposed to one huge one. Any chance that there's software that creates .wmv files?
Second, the cable runs are approx. 30 feet. What type of cable should I go with for both video and audio? I've considered getting the RCA to RJ45 baluns, but they're pretty pricey. Would I be just as good off running RG-6 for video and RCA for audio?
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Bobby
