I read a lot about O2/R10K machines and video capture problems - is
the following machine a reliable video capture plattform?
CPU: MIPS R10000 Processor Chip Revision: 2.6 FPU: MIPS R10010

Thanks in advance

AFAIK the problem is with the older R10K systems, 150, 175 and 195Mhz.

Nope. That 175 MHz has an ASIC that gives it too much memory latency. That
was only changedin the 195MHz and beyond R10K O2.
