Q: 1. Will this work with wirecast?

A: Yes it will.

Q: 2. is this card capabile of recording from 4 sources and ouput on 4 other? i mean i wNant to use this one in oun out in loop.

A: It will not provide a loop output by itself. Your software would have to read an input and drive the output in this case. Blacmagic software provided will not do this.

Q: 3. If I am using this card to capture video from a PTZ camera that has video only on it's SDI output, how do I capture the analog audio (microphone system) that I already have installed? Is there a better card to use for that? Also, does this come with capturing software?

A: Software is not included:Supported Software:VLC, VirtualDub, OBS, xSplit, vMix, VidBlaster, Wirecast, Microsoft Media Encoder, Adobe Flash Media Encoder, Any other DirectShow/V4L2 encoding/streaming softwareYou can sync the video with your audio in post with most editing software:Additional features include ultra-low latency, timestamp and A/V synchronization

Q: 4. does this include cables?

A: It includes breakout cable that provides multiple SDI inputs but it does not include any HDMI or SDI cables.

Q: 5. can you run 4 instances of the magewell capture express to capture 4 different video feeds with their imbedded audio signal to create 4 video files..ie 4 different languages + same video.?

A: Yes, but the capture express encoding engine is fairly cpu intensive plus the preview may lag the machine. It didn't work that well with a 16core/32thread machine.

Q: 10. Well this card seems more usable to me because of its 8 input, and If I have to use it with EGPU(External Graphic processing unit) with thunderbolt, will it work? Like in other question I don't like to travel with PC but will always travel with Laptop to use with ATEM. In this case I can use a gaming laptop and a EGPU with this card in it.

A: As long as the bus the card is connected to is capable of the bandwidth, then it should work.
