Hi -
I'm working on a project trying to capture live analog synth video to process and draw through OF (for an art installation setting, so I need something reliable and fairly turnkey).
The video synth I'm capturing outputs an NTSC signal (and is properly synced using a time base corrector). I'm on OSX (though if necessary, I could maybe switch to Win 10), and I'm hoping to find an external capture device using Thunderbolt or USB3.
I've tested a Blackmagic Intensity deck (Thunderbolt) using the ofxBlackMagic addon.
It eventually worked after a bunch of issues, but I found the Intensity to be very disappointing: the capture was unreliable and stuttering (even when capturing from a high end DVD player) and there were color issues and evident scan lines in the image.
Does anyone have a recommendation for a great capture device / addon (or library) combination for OF?
I'm looking at investing in the Blackmagic UltraStudio Express, but after the issues with the Intensity I'm skeptical of Blackmagic.
thanks!
