Capture card + Qlab

[Andrew Lee]

Question: 

Assuming I have 3 capture cards connected to a thunderbolt dock. But I am only activating one camera output per cue (Multiple camera angles and not firing all 3 at the same time)

 I would believe it will take up a ton of cpu if 3 of these is activated at the same time. My question is will my cpu resources be taken up If I have only 1 capture card activated and the other 2 in activate but in the cue list?

Hi Andrew

You’re probably good to go. I can’t promise that an inactive capture device takes zero processing power, but it’s definitely true that the vast majority of the processing power they use is only needed when it’s actually doing its work.
