Portable Computer for Intensity Injest?

Chris Swartz · June 13th, 2007, 02:11 PM

Express card slot for the intensity would be great, but alas it doesn't exist. As for the LCD, I can put one in the box, but it adds quite a bit to the total. As far as I know the LCD option is a touchscreen. Keyboard is a whole other question.

I´m looking for a easy solution to record higher quality video from my hv20 when i am out on the field. I wonder if it´s possible to use Asus XG Station and switch the videocard to a Intensitycard. Or is the XG Station only to get more power on you laptop for external displays? If it worked, it would be a nice solution with a powerful laptop.

More info about the XG station.

Oh, I thought you were building a portable capture device. That's just a desktop computer. unless it is battery powered and/or really small and portable its not really that much better than bringing any old computer and still being limited by the short length of hdmi cables in terms of movement...

What you can say about this mini-ITX motherboard: http://ibase-usa.com/mi900.htm

I like the 4 SATA ports. Doesn't have onboard Firewire though. For a dedicated digital video capture box I'd expect to have at least one FW400 port for non-HDMI camera and/or multi-track pro-audio interface support.

Commell makes a Mini-PCI IEEE 1394A module, so that opens up a few more options besides the MSI board I mentioned before.

Lots of interesting mini-pci cards at Global American Inc. as well.

Andrew, you can choose from a MI910 family and build a mobile (wearable) dvr-with-hdmi(component) IO.

We have good choice between:
Portable PC for dual Intensity cards with On-Air mixer, created on micro-ATX board by Chris Swartz
and Mobile solution (single Intensity card) based on mini-ITX with GM965 Intel's chipset.
