Hi folks,
So I got a situation where it would be desirable to have a composite input into a PCIe graphics card, to capture a camera feed... I am aware of alternatives to PCIe for this, but I want to use the PCIe AS WELL. Towards the middle and end of AGP there was a craze for VIVO video in video out, everyone had to offer it, and I thought this carried on into the first lot of PCIe cards at least, with some lower tier brands maybe carrying it through for 5 years because they didn't have anything else going for them.
However, there seems to be a shortage of reliable info about what cards have it. TechPowerup occasionally remembers to mention when a card has an SVid connector, but usually only lists it as output, even forgetting it completely on the AIW cards where it's their whole main thing. Likewise was looking up reviews on the Radeon 2600 Pro to find out what the svid was on that, and most of them don't even say it does anything or appear to notice it's existence.
So yah, here I am picking brains to see if anyone remembers any composite input/capture capabilities on specifically PCIe cards other than AIW models, I'm thinking there should be some "nothing" card around I've forgot about that will do it, or is pocket change cheap usually.
Thanks for anything...
