Video Capture cards for Acrobat Connect

None, currently. And I'm sure that's the issue as it appears as if AC still can't handle anything more than 640x480 at 20fps (despite prior promises of fuller video robustness in releases after 9.1). I'm curious though how AC can see other webcams that send a higher resolution signal.

Unfortunately, the BM Intensity Shuttle doesn't allow a customizable output setting; the lowest it can go is 720x480 (and I'm assuming it's 60i).

Do you know of other software solutions that might down-rez in real time?

I have been using the Black Magic Intesity Pro PCIe cards in 3 machines to link VC conferences to Adobe Connect sessions for 1.5 years. I had to use the S-Video outputs on the VC codecs since the higher resolution outputs, VGA and HDMI, caused the Intesity Pro to output too high for the Adobe Connect video pod. At S-Video input it scaled to 640x480 easily as long as you have your video pod sized to around a minimum of 1/8th of the screen, any smaller and the image zoomed in from the actual image view. Two of the machinces had PCIe conflicts, probably IRQ, so I had to switch the PCIe slot the card was plugged into to get the Intensity Pro to operate properly. We use the Adobe Connect Hosted solution so I don't have access to the VC pod.

hi,

just bought a blackmagic intensity pro and try to use it in adobe connect. So far without succes! I see you managed to get it work in skype. This works neither for me.

The strange thing is that in both programs i can select the input (decklink) but still i get no picture?

Any ideas what i can do? i work on windows 7/nvidia graphics card.

best regards,

frank

The Adobe Connect 8 Video pod handles video up to 480p at 640x480 and it is sized at 4x3. If you desire HD then we have partners that have pod options they have higher resolution options and controls.  Adobe uses the OSPREY cards internally.

If you desire a contact from the partners, send me a note:  hdrummon@adobe.com

I'll pass on your information to our partners in this space.

I've recently had great success connecting a Viewcast Osprey 210 card to

an ACP broadcast.

Video Capture cards for Acrobat Connect

Our new conference room equipped with BlackMagic Intensity Pro cards will

not work with the room's 720p video scheme. When reduced to NTSC composite

video inputs, Skype works fine, but Acrobat Connect shows only the center

of the video feed, and no video at all when the video pod's wide-screen

option is chosen. We've tried upgrading to Flash 10.2.152.14 and tried

Acrobat Connect 8 with the same results. Any ideas?

BTW, Blackmagic tech support consists of "we never thought of using our

card with anything other than video editing software". Sigh...

With much struggle I've managed to get Osprey 100 cards to work with

connect under Vista. Does anyone have a card recommendation to replace the

Blackmagic Intensity Pro? If the card will process a 720p input and

downsize it to work with Adobe Connect, it would solve all my problems,

but even any card that works with NTSC composite signals would be a big

improvement over "Blackmagic".
