Are there any hardware or any easy way around to get 4 DV streams into jitter at the same time. so far i have only been able to do this with webcameras or in combination with one dv cam. Never with more than one DV cam at the same time. I want to have four video images merged into one. Any hints are deeply appreciated.

If you use Mac, there is driver limit for only one DV input.

To use more then one video stream, IIDC cams can be a good solution.Bootcamp windows on Mac works fine. 

Pc has no drivers issue so you can hook more then one DV. Probably you will need firewire card for each Dv cam.

good luck


I have been able to get multiple DV in's by using a "daisy-chain" connection of the ImagingSource 1394 device with the purchase of third party software by ASC

Maybe too expensive an option, but it works.
