From: Patrick De Muynck <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: multiple audio cards for live broadcast / synchronization Hi, I'm planning the purchase of a WinNT station for RealProducer live broadcast encoding. Q1 For some projects I need to have two RealProducers running in the same box which will take their respective inputs from two installed Osprey-100 cards. But what about the audio? Can I install two audio cards in one WinNT box and actually feed the captured audios to two different RealProducers? Any caveats? Any advice and/or recommendations from somebody who has actually done this? Or should I rather use the Osprey-1000/G2 solution for this? Q2 Is it possible to synchronize live audio or video streams at all if they don't originate from the same RealProducer process? The case of interest is a live event which is simultaneously translated in one or more languages. The idea would be to live encode the video once and combine it via SMIL with the encoded audio stream for the desired language. My small test seemed to indicate that you shouldn't expect streams to be synchronized (even approximatively) even if audio and video stream originate from the same encoder box!? Or would there be any plans for RealProducer G2 to support encoding multiple audio channels in a video? Please Cc: to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ...
