Component Capturing Cards/Boxes?

[Velocity 7]

I'm having quite a hefty amount of trouble trying to see where these cards are, their prices, where they're sold, and so on. If there's a list of cards or boxes out there that do pure component to DV (FireWire), please list them here, as well as their video capture resolutions (e.g., 480p 59.94 fps, for example).

P.S. I'm looking more towards cheaper solutions that will capture a wide deal of component signals. I wouldn't mind if the card ended up being a pure component -> DV with no other possible outputs (or inputs for that matter). Though maybe audio input is a must. :3

UPDATE: To be more general based on Mug Funky's advice, just component capture cards or boxes in general.

my guess is a Decklink HD card might be a good bet. expensive as hell though. they'll do SDI, and can capture in DV, raw uyvy or 10-bit uyvy. probably mjpg and a few others too. most of those don't support 60p though, so you'll probably have to capture in one of the blackmagic codecs (just uncompressed uyvy again with a fancy name).

i'm sure there's something cheaper out there... but for 480p60 you're looking at a huge data rate, and it's not at all compatible with DV, so you're looking at a PCI card (or PCI-e) rather than anything plugging into firewire. you'd probably need a very fast computer and massively fast (and big) hard disk to avoid dropping frames.

Actually jggimi, could you move it back? I've changed the nature of this topic based on Mug Funky's advice.

ADS Tech Pyro A/V Link has bi-directional component to Firewire transcoding as DV-AVI stream. Also has, of course, analog video/s-video in/out. I use it to view the Adobe Premiere Elements timeline display in real-time on a monitor TV which is wonderful! About $150 usd.
