Marco, The AG2.3 toolkit release for FreeBSD 5.3 (http://www.ap-accessgrid.org/AG2/freebsd5.html) was built & tested on a machine using a 4 input capture card model IVC-200. This card uses 4 of the very common bt878 chips, which are recognised in FreeBSD by the "bktr" device driver. You could assume from this that any capture card supported by the bktr driver would be suitable. chris Christoph Willing Ph: +61 7 3365 8350 QPSF Access Grid Manager University of Queensland
