Subject: Re: Intel PC Camera for live encoding???
Thanks Craig,
All 3 cameras need to be encoding live at the same
time.
It looks like the answer to my question...can you
live encoder 3 video sources similtaneously on one
PC...is NO, for two reasons. 1. problems with
running the same software and 2. not enough CPU
power.
I wish someone from Real would varify and clarify
this. I'd hate to be spreading false information.
It seems my problem will be solved by Macintosh,
which may be contributing 3 G4s to the project
along with 4 iMacs. This way I have a computer for
each camera.
But now I'm going to have to see if the live
encoder works on a Macintosh? Does anyone know?
