As the subject says, would love help with multiple camera input into laptop. I've had a search online but can't seem to get a clear "do it this way" answer.
Recently swapped from mac to PC. I have a Predator 15 PC (i7) laptop running Resolume Arena 6.
I am wanting to set up a multiple camera input, 4 x cameras (at this stage will most likely be go pros).
I only want 1 output, and I want to slice/map the 4 cameras within one raster - (i.e. show all 4 cameras at the same time, I don't want to use the laptop as a switcher). That part is easy...
BUT what is the best way to input 4 separate camera feeds into the laptop? I don't even need 1080, smaller resolution is fine.
I've looked into blackmagic and AJA, but being a noob with PC laptops, I need further help. Can I just instal a blackmagic capture card on to this PC? Do I need a desktop to do that?
I have some budget but not a massive amount of money to get this done, so economical is what I'm after. Wanting advice from someone who has done something similar, Thanks so much in advance!
