Being an engineer, I can only say: Your specification wasn't clear enough. ;-) Cardbus (or whatever the next generation of that is called) might be a PCIe-like alternative, but I struggle to find any cargs for that (let alone Linux drivers). > Tbh, I want more USB UVC hardware options. So found I found two. Is > UVC a good interface? Does USB3 device? Looking for testimonials too. This is getting a bit off topic here. Linux UVC is covered here: http://www.ideasonboard.org/uvc/ but their mailing list has settled down a bit recently. There's a list of "reported" supported/unsupported devices on that page, amonst which I find one which seems to be an HDMI capture device: Magewell XI100DUSB-HDMI coming in at a stunning US$ 300. > Yes, standards matter to me. Who likes installing drivers?! :) Many (many!) devices cheat on Windows, despite that Windows pushed UVC as a standard. They work only semi-conforming, and the manufacturers install their own software or even drivers. That makes these devices tricky on Linux, despite UVC being a clear standard. Is UVC a good interface? I can't judge. USB isn't the best designed interface in the world, and UVC probably doesn't hold well for all desired aspects. (I'd prefer a PCIe solution.) I find both a bit flakey, but perhaps that's also due to all the flakey hardware/firmware out there. Even though the interface is mostly "only" used for webcams. But it works find for many, and you probably have no other choice on USB.
