From: Dennis Johnstone <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: changing video sources I haven't been able to change sources while still encoding using the Osprey card, but there is an external solution. JVC does two AV selectors, the JX-S300 (4 ins/3 outs) and JX-S700 (7 ins/4 outs) that can be used to select your video feeds. In addition, both selector boxes have inputs for timer operation. I intend using them to feed video from live cameras in separate radio studios, depending on which one is on air. I looked at a software solution but it would have put extra load on the PCs and prevented manual overrides by less technically minded staff. An external box keeps the video switching separate from the encoding (I hate having one critical point of failure) and allows manual overrides should they be necessary. Of course, you could get carried away and write a Java app to do the switching with a web front end for manual overrides and schedule updating, but the mechanical solution is simpler! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dennis Johnstone Website editor BBC Radio 5 Live http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio5live/ email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - > -----Original Message----- > From: RealForum [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, October 27, 1999 9:34 AM > Subject: > > From: GlenD <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: changing video sources > > I accidentally did this with a Winnov Videum card.
