Ok, so this is what we have been doing.
We film cheerleading competitions and we have 1 xl2. We had been hooking the xl2 up to a mac mini and using final cut pro to capture to an external hard drive. That has worked fine, but when we tried to do the same thing for a 2 camera set up, editing it was a nightmare. I won't go into that.
So what I'm wondering is, can we do this:
- Have both XL2's output their video thru a BNC connection to the Kona card
- Have an XLR cable running from the soundboard running music to the Kona card, and another XLR running from a stage mic to the Kona
- Do live switching of video feeds as it is capturing
- After each 3 minute performance, stop the capture and make a new clip
- Have a dedicated computer with raid set up to capture to
- we develop some kind of software that would run on a computer at the judges table. they could view the clips that have been captured for official judging business
- have the kona card output a live "final multi-camed switched" feed from a BNC connection to a plasma screen
This seems like a complex setup, but I've had experience with more complex setups involving pictures.
I guess what I'm asking is, does the Kona card have the proper connections and capabilities to do what I need it to do?
Thanks.
