The kodicom 4400 has 4 Brooktree capture chips, a transparent PCI bridge and a video crossbar. The patch programs the crossbar so you can route the video signal from one of the 16 inputs to a particular capture chip. many versions of this card has 4 BNC video inputs, they are crossbar inputs 0-3. Additionally there is also set of riser pins for all 16 inputs. The patch intially programs the crossbar so input 0 goes to the first capture chip, etc. once the input is selected, use any bktr-aware capture program. --Mark.
