    two Video Cams with laptop

    Thanks for reading.

    I am going to use a laptop with two digital cameras...one with a/v output and and other with hdmi ..can i use a blackmagic shuttle 3.0 and an easy cap at same time.????

    computer specs.

    i-7 3460
    quad core
    8gb ram
    video card with 2gb ram
    4 usb 3.0
    1 hdmi (have not checked but guessing probably its out only....

    so i can use one easy cap i know for sure...but have no luck with two easy caps so i was thinking about the shuttle....

    1 Canon gl2, use a/v output and tape and one Sony HDR XR 500 120gb hd and i use hdmi or composite for recording.

    Bill, for the super cheap route use 2 easycaps from ezcap.tv. They will play nicely together. The Chinese knock-offs are a crap shoot--some will work, others not.

    You should be able to use two capture cards at the same time.

    broadcasting with pro cams

    1. which broadast application are u using?
    2. 2 USB can some times give hicups (not all the time), depending on what all u have on your USB Bus, if u doing USB, you would preferable need 1 usb bus per device, for better production

    +1 for the mixer.

    I use the Behringer X1204USB now, but started with the Behringer X502 ($25 ebay), then moved to the Alesis MultiMix8USB ($50 ebay).

    Audio Help

    Thanks for the help but i am thinking about doing this without ac power. Therefore wondering if connecting to computer or get a field mixer (battery operated) for audio.

    Thanks again.
