This is a bit of a shot in the dark, but I'm in desperate need of help.

I've been tasked with finding a solution that would allow me to record up to 3 analog video feeds (with audio) simultaneously. Preferably I'd like to find a single capture card capable of doing this, but it's not a requirement.

Secondly I need software capable of recording all 3 feeds, and being able to select which feed will be outputted to a monitor. Which is in this case a 12'x9' projection screen. Also I need an instant replay option. Ideally this needs to be done with one person. This is the part I'm not sure on, I haven't been able to find anything that would really work.

This is being done for a local sports event, it's all volunteer and I was asked to help as I've done some video capturing previously. However this is something I really need help on. If anyone has any suggestions, or knows where I could go for further assistance I would really appreciate it.

Thanks.

There's capture cards around with multiple composite video inputs (6+ inputs) used for CCTV systems. I don't know how good they are, which ones are good, or whether they'll be suitable for what you want them for.

I think I'm probably not going to be able to do it all with one computer. If I simplified it to just 1 feed per computer, is there any software you might recommend that makes recording and making short clips for replay?

I'll probably just put in hauppage 150 PCI or USB in each PC, it's just the software I'm not sure about...
