We currently have a Rain Venturi which has a large amount of expandability and we'd like to "restart" recording video.
Previously we recorded video from a SD camera to a pretty junky capture device and got just what you would expect, a junk recording.
We just got settled with this new beast of a computer:
Rain Computers Venturi
2.80GHz Intel "Bloomfield" Xeon Quad Core [8MB]
12GB 1333MHz DDR3 Triple Channel SDRAM (6x2GB)
640GB High Performance Drive [64MB Cache SATA 3 6GB]
2TB High Performance Drive [64MB Cache SATA 3 6GB]
StormDrive Dual Layer CD/DVD Writer
850W Silent Power Supply
NVIDIA Quadro 600 Workstation Video Card [1GB DDR 3]
Windows 7 Pro [64-bit]
But what we are looking to do is upgrade to an HD grade camera, and get a new capture device, as well as some video editing software that would have live capture built in.
I've looked at the following cameras and just wondering whats best, what should we be looking at to connect the camera to the capture device, what capture devices should we get? Ideally one that will work with whatever video software we get

So overview, looking for:
- HD camera, Prefer Canon sub $3,000
- Capture Device handling at least 2 HD inputs, or 1 HD and 1 SD either way its coming direct from the camera at this point.
- Editing software that's capable of live capturing
- Any cabling we would need to get from the camera to the capture device
We're looking at spending probably up to $1,000 on editing software.
And $??? for capture device / cables
Budget is around $3000 + $1000 + Whatever capture device and cables would cost
