Capturing SDI video and Analog audio at the same time.

I would like to capture SDI video from my Digibeta camera adapter at the same time I am capturing analog audio from my mini headphone jack on the camera.
(I cannot get my camera to pass through audio over the SDI output.) I'm using a Decklink SDI card for the video and would like to use a USB or firewire input from a audio bridge for sound. Can I digitize from two different sources at the same time?

G5, Mac OS X (10.4.7), Decklink SDI Card

I do not believe so. Though, I have read of people who can get two Quicktime Pro capture sessions running simultaniously.

good luck.

I think I have done something similar so I would try it. Sync is another issue but I reckon you know that. Doesn't the cam have a better analog out than the headphone jack? Know anybody with a Kona LH that can capture for you? The LH has analog ins as well as SDI.

Also Good Luck,
Robert

Isn't the decklink an AES/spdif in? Flying cow adda converter works great. apparently so great that m-audio is dropping it since Avid bought them. allows analog+4 in and out to aes or spdif i/o. too bad your decklink won't do embedded audio heres a link to cow for sale
