I have a rig that I built here with Conexant encoder based cards and Sony
analog HAD cameras for a Halloween party. After some experimentation I feel
that this is a better setup because it gives you a lot more flexibility.
The array of analog cameras and sound equipment available for attachment is
very broad and very inexpensive. The Sony survellience cameras I bought off
ebay, for instance, have sensitivity down to 1 lux (real 1 lux, not the fake
IR LED assist stuff) and were only $150 each. You can then mike the stage
directly or even pull stereo RCAs off of a sound board.
The Conexant encoder cards are <$100 here in the US and I was able to drive
three of them (exporting the streams on the network and recording locally)
off of an older Athalon 800 with absolutely no problem at all. This also
gives the convenience of routing the video over the network.
Just my .02
