using a high current supply (Like an astron 7A) and the camera trying to pull more current than the 24 gauge can handle at that distance could cause the wire to heat up and that could be disastrous A camera does not pull more current than described in the manual. It does not matter what kind of ...

My camera has a tolerance of 9.5V - 16V according to the manual, so check your manual and check the voltage at the end of the cable with a multimeter. You can use a 13.8V power supply, used by HAM radio people (like me), they are often properly stabilized and have a high current. But check your ...

I bought the card and it doesn't work in systems with a 3.3V PCI bus. I guess they've used the wrong PCI PCB. Most of the capture cards don't have that second notch and cards who don't have that second notch indicates that it's 5V only. Too bad, I gave up the quest to find a cheap multi channel ...

I think it's best to go with the 8 channel 240/200 fps. Quite cheap on Ebay and almost working right out of the box (need to add a line in modprobe.conf) This is the card, with the yellow connector; http://www.jasonh.vispa.com/Card_Front.jpg I hoped it was an universal PCI bus (3.3V/5V) card but it ...

I stopped zmc first but still was unable to deactive the bt878 driver (rmmod bt878?) But I installed the LiveCD to harddisk yesterday and everything is working fine now (changed modprobe.conf). I got segmentation faults and device is busy and that sort of things, did Google searches and gave up ...

Well.. Yes.. But you need special baluns with a power connector; http://www.long-range.nl/balun.gif For example. Do a search on Ebay for balun power and you see what I mean.. There a two little screws on the side for the power (use a water resistant box for outside to be sure). Succes with your ...

Are you aware of this issue? (sorry, Dutch, but it's about notches) ; http://img263.imageshack.us/img263/9500/pci1ha4.jpg http://img263.imageshack.us/img263/2954/pci2hg3.jpg I didn't :evil: And now I have two Avermedia EZ Gold cards (5V only) in the wrong machine because of that. I need a 3.3V PCI ...
