My coleague Rubén Pérez remind me to include NCast on the previous list. NCast digitizer has BNC, VGA and DVI inputs that support several resolutions and formats. As Blackmagic is more versatil but it is the most expensive of them all. The linux support is up-to-date.
The point is to take advantage of the possibility or recording two streams at the same time (screen and camera). They come together and you have to cut it later (in MH). Personally I don't like this very much. In Galicaster we still have some work to do to get all the potential from NCast digitizer, cutting the side-by-side in origin and having real dual stream. It's not big deal but it isn't done yet.
