We're running on Windows XP and by performance I mean the CPU hit. We
have a Dual Opteron 248 box and it barely copes rendering our 4 local
cameras. Capture is through a Videum 4400VO and I'm using the latest one
on the Sumover website.

Adam.

Which platform (and hardware) are you running it on? When you say it
has bad performance do you mean it takes alot of CPU or it is bad
quality? What's the version number (just the latest one from the
website?

We are trying to put together a 'plugin' type of arrangement so that
it can be dropped into an AG client setup for more straightforward
use.

And Jimmy I haven't seen the Osprey HD card - I'd like to play with
one - presumably it takes input from a consumer grade HD camera?
