Stream other devices with adobe connect

Question

Is there a recommend video capture card to stream other computers and devices such as a document camera to a pc running adobe connect so that the attendees can view the second pc or document camera? I have looked at several video capture cards but I am not sure how they will work with adobe connect. I have a PC that broadcasts the adobe connect session. I have one camera connected to it but I would like to switch between the camera and the video output of a second pc or a document camera. I am hoping to find a card that will take HDMI in and have adobe connect recognize it like a second webcam.

Is this possible and any recommendations on hardware?

Note: The PC I am running adobe connect from is an i5 system, 8GB Ram, and available expansion slots.

If Connect can recognize the video input device as a "webcam" then it will be available in the drop down menu next to your Video button at the top of the meeting room. If it doesn't recognize it you can look to trying the DVdriver application (free to try, $20 to buy) which allows any video input to be seen as a webcam by the Windows OS. Keep in mind that the Video pod doesn't support HD video, so the image may not be as clear as you would like. If you need there are some external video tools that support HD video in the Extensions section of the Connect product page.
