Hello,

I have a PC (ASUS M51-AD) that I currently use with an ATEM TVS to bring in HDMI video to 1 Intensity Pro card. I was originally trying to install 3 Intensity cards but the PC only has 1 available port after the graphics card is accounted for. I am wondering if there is a good off the shelf PC that is available with at least 3 available PCI-e slots for the Intensity pro cards so I can remove the ATEM And 2nd PC from my setup. Thanks.

Hopefully I have solved my own problem. I have just purchased the Magewell XI400DE 4 input HDMI capture card. For now until I make the jump to SDI feeds this should do the trick.

@ Cpilcher

Glad you went that route, I was about to suggest it as an option.
That's the big advantage of multiple input capture cards and external boxes, ya, they are a lot more expensive but they are not eating up valuable computer resources and expansion slots.

Thanks Ice, you always have great advice. I hesitated to purchase the card because I already have 5 Intensity Pro cards and the cost of the 4 port was a little more than I was wanting to spend on the capture end. But I am also trying to simplify this setup as much as possible so I think I made the right move. Thanks again.
