Here are some test results of three pieces of software.
1. CineCap with Intensity Pro
2. CineCap with USB capture
2. My sw with USB capture
3. My sw with Intensity Pro
Since I do not have a Workprinter or similar HW I tested it with a python mouse click code. The code
runs at 7 FPS, prints out the frame number on the screen and then activates the mouse click.
The Mark2 camera HDMI output is connected to either the USB card or to Intensity Pro and
is pointed to the screen. That way I check if a new frame is captured properly.
All three versions performed reasonably well.
The CineCap and my sw running on the Intensity Pro ran 420 frames and captured all frames but did have one or two smudges.
See frame 70 with the CineCap.
CineCap on USB was the worst of the four but still did not miss any frames but the delay is the longest which I believe can still be used by tuning the HW.
My sw running on USB did not have smudges but missed one frame completely out of 420 frames which is not bad.

One more note.
I noticed that the CineCap with Intensity Pro output file is much larger than with my sw.
I use the decklink mpeg codec that produces much smaller files and still very good quality.
Would like to hear from the CineCap users.
Cinecap with the USB card is also small but still larger than my sw output.
