DIY video switcher? Using existing PC?
Our ancient Videonics switchers is about to give up the ghost. Is there a way to make a switcher using tv tuner boards and a Vista machine?
The only thing I've been able to turn up is the Matrox and Tricaster editing systems, but that's way out of my ballpark... I was hoping to cobble together something with -- I dunno... TV Wonder cards and switching / Video DJ software? I've seen VidBlaster, but we're stuck with analog sources -- and USB is way too jerky. |

Ok, so maybe I should be saying "Video MIXER", rather than 'switcher'...
Again, can this be done with a PC and composite/s-video capture boards? The PC doesn't have to record all three streams, just show a preview onscreen and record whichever stream is selected. |
