Charlie Winter Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 So after spending some hours testing the capture card shared by @klinzey I have had the following experiences. It works successfully with Vision *BUT* that was on my MacBook Pro (10.13.x) running Windows 10 Home on Bootcamp. Not my ideal workstation. Jumping over to our previz workstation (Windows 10 Pro) is where I'm stumped. The Windows Device Manager recognizes that the card is connected, but using the Skype test as recommended by @bbudzon shows no card connected. Has anyone had success streaming video into Vision on a dedicated Windows 10 Pro workstation with a different capture card? I'd love to hear about your experience. @Gaspar Potocnik @nakedeye Quote Link to comment
Gaspar Potocnik Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 @Charlie Winter I've only tried Mac OS, works on both 10.13 and 10.14 for sure, haven't tried previous versions or Windows... Quote Link to comment
nakedeye Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Has anyone had success using more than one of the capture devices to feed different screens with different feeds at the same time? Quote Link to comment

I can say that I've successfully used my MBP WebCam along with a Capture Card to feed different screens different feeds at the same time. Perhaps, there is an issue with the drivers or something? If you have 2 capture cards plugged into your machine, do other programs like Skype see both capture cards? Is it only Vision that does not see them both? Quote Link to comment
nakedeye Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 So I purchased a second one of the USB capture devices and using Gaspars system of looking in quicktime I could see both sources however in Vision the second card could be seen but just showed black and if I selected that it caused vision to crash. Both input cards work fine on their own. I tried the same thing on my Alienware windows 10 machine and viola! works fine, two separate inputs on two separate screens. I did have a few issues seeing the cards on my Mac laptop depending on which ports I was using, I'm wondering if an external powered USB hub would do the trick. I'll let you all know how I get on. 1 Quote Link to comment
nakedeye Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 I've now tried a powered external USB hub and still not working under Mac OS on my MacBook Pro however in bootcamp on the same machine I can see separate sources so I guess its a Mac thing. Quote Link to comment
