WinTV-HD capture cards. We want 8x backends and 8x frontends. </font><br><br>Hardware:<br>1 x Quad core 2.8Ghz / 4G ram / 500G disk<br>
2 x Quad core 2.4Ghz / 4G ram / 500G disk<br>2 x Dual core 2.4Ghz / 4G ram / 500G disk<br>8 x 3Ghz / 4Gram / 120G<br>1 x appletv frontend<br>1 x ps3 frontend<br><br>Plan:<br>Keep all the frontends and backends in a single room and run 3 ethernet cables from frontend to the display via HDMI over ethernet thus leaving 1 ethernet cable free for IR and maybe something else.<br>
