Re: I found an HDMI Video Capture Card for the PC....



As best I can determine from the users manual available at the link provide
the card has no real-time encoding capability and is only capable of
inputting decoded HDMI video and recording it directly to a high speed disk
array at storage rates up to almost 50GB per hour or you can have it direct
its HDMI input directly to an HDMI output connection that is also on the
card and the data does not come into the PC at all.

That's a capture card not a PVR card, it won't work in Media Center.

Since I have DirecTV, why would one need a TV Tuner card anyway? Could I
use
an HDMI video caputure card? Since this type of card doesn't have the IR
out, is there a simple IR out card that could allow me to change
channels?
Anyone willing to try out something like this below?

Add the incredible quality of HDMI to your computer. Intensity features
the
latest HDMI technology for the highest quality capture and playback on
Windows or Mac OS X computers. Now you can edit using big-screen HDMI
televisions and video projectors, or capture uncompressed quality from
HDV
cameras - all for only $249
True HDMI Digital Connections
Intensity features HDMI-in for connecting to cameras and digital set-top
boxes for the highest quality capture. Get higher quality capture from
HDV
cameras by capturing direct and bypassing the HDV compression chip, for
high
quality video, captured direct from the CCD. Because edit software cannot
play back to HDV cameras for monitoring, Intensity is ideal to use for
monitoring uncompressed HD or HDV and even DV edits on the latest big
screen
televisions and video projectors by connecting to the built in HDMI-out.


Go Beyond HDV Video Quality
HDV video compression suffers from not being full 1920 HD resolution, and
the extra processing required makes editing difficult. With Intensity,
you
can now capture and playback full resolution HDTV uncompressed video, for
true broadcast and feature film quality editing. Totally eliminate HDV &
DV
compression quality problems, and render much cleaner graphics while
retaining deeper color and image detail. If you need lower data rate
editing,
you can also select from a range of professional compressed video capture
modes. Intensity includes the same Blackmagic Design video technology
used on
Hollywood feature films - so quality won't limit your creativity.


Live Production with On-Air 2.0
Experience the incredible excitement of filming events live. Included
with
Intensity is Blackmagic On-Air 2.0 which allows two Intensity boards to
be
plugged into an Apple Mac Pro system for live mixing between two HDV
cameras.
On-Air includes everything you need for a live production studio
including
camera monitoring, program monitoring, graphic keying and recording to
disk.
Cameras auto sync, so you don't even need expensive genlock featured
cameras
- any HDV camera with HDMI out will do. Full resolution live HD
production is
ideal for weddings, education, corporate production and more. It has
never
been so affordable!


Windows and Mac OS X Compatible
Plug into Windows or Mac OS X computers with the same card, and use your
favorite software, including Apple Final Cut ProT, Adobe Premiere ProT,
Adobe
After EffectsT, Adobe PhotoshopT, eyeon FusionT and many more. Intensity
is
fully DirectShowT and QuickTimeT compatible, which adds HDMI capture and
playback ability to your computer. DirectShow and QuickTime allows
Intensity
to work with a wide range of software for editing, design and paint,
through
to the exciting video utility software that allows custom desktop based
video
solutions.


Professional Video Standards
Instantly switch between HD and SD video standards including HDTV
1080i/59.94, 1080i/50, 720p/59.94, 720p/50, NTSC and PAL. Intensity
allows
capture in professional file formats which are fully compatible with
Blackmagic Design's DeckLink and Multibridge capture cards, so you can
deliver finished television programs, music videos and other work at
broadcast standards.

Add broadcast quality to your editing system and move to a new world of
video editing where your images always stay perfect at full resolution
HDTV.
