Deltacast capture cards

Hi!

I am in the process of finding a high-end, multichannel, low latency 3GSDI capture card. I am looking at Blackmagic, Datapath and Deltacast. I ruled out cards from Yuan because of too much latency. (5 frames in 1080p@50)

Since Deltacast has a card with 8 inputs and genlock, deltacast.tv/products/develo … g-elp-d-8c it would be a very good candidate, but appearantly they only do OEM cards. They seem to have a DirectShow driver, but I haven´t yet gotten an answer if it will work with TD.

They say that they have had contact with Derivative in the past, but not in present time.
So my question is if you have any experience with their DirectShow driver, and if you have any plans on integrating their SDK in TD?

Since also Yuan has an SDK, I am curious if there is a possibility that you would integrate that in TD? (They are cheap)

We haven’t tested TD with deltacast cards ourselves. Adding support for the SDK of a new capture card is usually done using Pro support hours. It’s a bit of work to do this so it takes quite a few support hours to do so (usually around 24).
