David, I've been running the Osprey 440 - with RCA connections to my sony cameras (they come with BNC/RCA adaptors) but I've been running this capture machine with FC6 since that's all it does (and does it very well)....
BUT... I do run multiple osprey cards on windows (230's I believe, maybe a few 210's) in another machine at another site with no problems with AG 3.0.2 (except I used at the time the older ?2.2.? Osprey drivers instead of the new ones). So, - what version of AG are you using? Are you using 3.0.2? Or 3.1beta? Maybe someone else can chime in on that aspect... -John Q. P.s. So, I've been running AG3.x for over a year now - we now use it in production for our entire state AG infrastructure (18 nodes and counting) and it's much more productive for us than that of 2.x. -- John I.
