Question / Help 3 or more Live Gamer HD (Lite)'s in 1 PC?

Has anyone tried it? I'm not worried about the CPU load just whether they show up as DirectShow devices and all work when you put them in a single scene.

I use 2 in 1 PC regularly but I cannot easily get 3 or 4 LGHD's together without traveling cross country.

Reason for asking is I have a client who wants to do a production with 3 professional camera's and 1 PC game capture. Webcams are not an allowed alternative in his book. Other ideas are welcome but I know once you go SDI the price of hardware shoots up exponentially.

Looking forward to any replies.

If you don't get a satisfactory response here (I'm not sure anyone here has tried this), you might try the Avermedia forums. They should be able to tell you if you can use more than two capture cards in one PC (I know many of them use exactly two).

Where's the AVM forums? I can't find them.

Yeah, that stinks, I can't find their forums any more either. A lot of knowledge of their devices has been lost it seems. I'm not sure where you'll find the answer now. Maybe if you go to Newegg or Amazon and ask a question on the product pages. Or find another solution, 'cause it seems Avermedia doesn't care much about their users.

For future reference I emailed AVM and they confirmed 4, and theoretically more, work:
Yes, AVerMedia Live Gamer HD( including Lite ) driver supports multiple cards scenario, but it may request rather high performance PC specification to run 4 cards at the same time.

"may"

EA yesterday on stream had 12 inputs. 6v6 Titanfall. But I guess they did not use Live Gamers :)
