The red, 15' L-4E6S Star Quad XLRM to XLRF Microphone Cable from Canare is especially designed for handheld microphone applications in live sound, rehearsals, and other situations. In addition to mic-level signals, the cable can also be used to carry line-level signals such as for connecting your mixer to power amps.

The L-4E6S Star Quad cable features a 4-conductor design that is engineered to substantially reduce vulnerability to electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference when compared with 2-conductor cables. It uses 21 AWG copper wire, which features cross-linked, flexible irradiated polyethylene insulation, which is designed to maintain maximum frequency response and to be more heat resistant than ordinary polyethylene. It also utilizes braided copper shielding, which is designed for greater noise rejection and durability than spiral shielding.

The cable also includes cotton filler, which is in place to help to cut down handling noise. This can be beneficial in handheld microphone applications in which the cable may be subject to a substantial amount of movement.

Q: 1. Would this Capture Card allow for 4 inputs from separate Gaming Consoles and allow for switching between each HDMI feed without a delay within a Streaming Software such as OBS?

A: I can not honestly answer this as I don't use it for gaming. But I do use it with 4 cameras for live streaming and it switches between cameras without any delay.

A: Yes it should. Note some camera HDMI outputs are not the same as their record settings. And some HDMI outputs contain overlays as you would se in the viewfinder.

Q: 4. What other connection does this card need besides the PIC bus? Does it need extra power?

A: No extra power is required for the Blackmagic Design DeckLink Quad HDMI Recorder Capture Card. All you will require is a PCI-E slot with the specs listed below. Computer Interface: PCI Express 8 lane generation 3, compatible with 8 and 16 lane PCI Express slots.

Q: 5. will this card ork in a gigabyte motherboard with a PCI Express x16 slot, running at x4 (PCIEX4)?

A: yes this will Work on a PCIEX4

Q: 6. Can you give me an idea of the storage bandwidth needed to record 4 x 1080p 60 fps? Will this work on a single SATA 7200 rpm drive?

A: You didn’t mention which codec you are using. The more compression the lower disk bandwidth but higher CPU requirements. Each stream could run from tens to hundreds of Mb/s. There are tables easily found for various codecs and compression rates. And plan for memory and overhead in the calculation. You should run the Blackmagic disk speed test on your system to get an idea of the capability.

Q: 7. I want to record the vMix output over HDMI to a recording device that would record to a SSD. What type of recorder do I need?

A: I would recommend the Blackmagic Design HyperDeck Studio HD Pro. You can connect the HDMI to the back of the HyperDeck and it will record to a SSD drive. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1657120-REG/blackmagic_design_hyperdeck_studio_hd_pro.html?sts=pi&pim=Y

Q: 8. Does this work with livestream studio?

A: Yes, this is compatible with Livestream Studio.

Q: 9. Would this support live color grading of an HDR signal inside of Resolve Studio? Signal would be coming from various game consoles.

A: Sorry - should have elaborated. Potential setup: Standalone PS5 outputting HDR signal to HDMI splitter; splitter output #1 to HDR monitor #1 for untreated monitoring; splitter output #2 to PC and into Resolve for "live" color grading on HDR monitor #2. By "live" I mean without capturing video clips to THEN be graded. A slight lag/delay doesn't matter too much - I'd just like the game to remain playable and have the preview in Resolve update automatically, and support setting up grades without needing to capture clips.

Q: 10. looking for a Vmix 4 Camera input for use with a laptop, can this be inserted into a housing that would connect to a laptop USB?

A: Type-C USB/Thunderbolt 3 YES! You would just need an enclosure. I have the one from Sonnet and it works just perfectly. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1312723-REG/sonnet_echo_exp_se1_t3_echo_express_se_i.html
