hi,

i am wanting to use ZM and am looking for hardware with at least 8 ports.

does anyone know, if the following hardware is supported ?
the good thing about it is, that it has hardware compression.

thanks in advance,

I don't belive this card is supported by the linux kernel.
Besides I think it's still cheaper to order form BlueCherry and your are sure it's a card supported by the Linux Kernel.

hi Cordel,

>I don't belive this card is supported by the linux kernel
would that be a misprint, them saying that it supports linux ?

>I think it's still cheaper .....
they do not use hardware encoding though, correct ?

if the card is supported by linux, will it automatically work with ZM ?
H.264 has been implemented, right ?

thanks again,
Martin

No, ZM does not support any hardware encodeing. Raw format only or else ZM would have to decompress each image from the capture card any way as it does with IP cams.
