576/50P recording on Intensity ?
 

I'm using a Camera that outputs PAL @ 50P on a D-Sub 9-pin connector. Now, I can convert this to Analog DVI or Component Video. However, Intensity does not list any 576/50P recording mode. Also it does not say if I can take an output off a D-Sub connector.
Can the resident Intensity gurus clarify this ? Thanks!

Also, my computer parts reseller does not have the motherboard used in this design. Any comments on me using what he has.. ? This one

What about using compact flash memory instead of those bulky SATA drives? It would change the overall size and weight of the computer.
I found something like this, and you can use raid0 and raid5 but don't know if the speed of these drives is enough for uncompressed capture.

and also the CF card solution could be use as the system boot and it would shorten the overall start-up time.
And also this card solution would give you the roll-mag alternative of the digital age ;)

(just like RED :))

i have built such "transportable" system out of a Shuttle SX38pro case.
the motherboard has X38 chipset, 2 x PCIe 16x , support dual core 45nm at 1333Mhz and ram at 1066Mhz. got SATA and e-SATA, IDE, can raid the SATA.
it goes hot like hell (i burned my first box) but works very fast and is as small as it can be.
fortunately the Intensity card is so small that you can choose some graphic card with fan.
I choosed a fanless nvidia 8500 with HDTV out (component) and added a fan on it.
runing a E8400 (core 2 duo @ 3ghz) and Corsair RAM DDR2 2GB [1GBx2] DDR1066 (PC2-8500) - CORSAIR Dominator [TWIN2X2048-8500C5D] because it come with heatsink.

next step will be to add a 7 or 8 inch touch screen VGA in front so all is included and i can use it like a VCR. Just need to design a small program with big button (REC/STOP/PLAY) to use the touch screen. Monitoring can be done on a cheap 22 or 24" with the 2nd DVI output on the card.
So for less than 1000$ you got an HD recorder.
