Do any of you guys use more than one card in the same machine? I am working on a new build and thinking about using 2 Aver cards but wanted to see if anyone had anything good or bad to say about it. I have seen it with BM cards.

I have two BM Intensity cards in my PC and it works...and I have to USB Webcams attached as well. All four are recognized by Wirecast.

Chris, you can have up to 8 Avermedia cards in one PC without issue. (especially the Dark Crystal SDK range.) I have two Duo's (http://solutions.avermedia.com/?q=en/products/capture-cards/hd/darkcrystal-hd-capture-sdk-duo) and have been running them without issue for the last 12 months. They work equally well with vMIx, VidBlaster and Wirecast.

It can capture 2 HDMI inputs at the same time? Price?

Looks to be around the $700 price point on average...

Might have to find one of these so I can free up a PCIe slot on my PC that are currently occupied by the two Black Magic Intensity cards..

From the Amazon ad...

. Capture 2 HD & 2 SD Video Sources Simultaneously
. Grab Content up to 1080p
. Input Sources: 2*HDMI/ Component+2*Composite/S-Video
. DirectShow Compatible
. Applications like Webcasting/ Lecture Recording/ Medical Imaging/ Product Line Inspection

Yep. And two SD inputs. So I can bring 8 sources into the PC at one time. Typically I use 6. Plus I can also use USB devices as well. Price is region specific. The $AUD has gone down so imports are much more expensive here that before but it was under $700.00 when I purchased them. The Magewell cards with similar specs are much the same price point but apparently also work well.
