The problem you will have is an SDI card with a Linux driver that
works and software that works with it. I provide SDI solutions based
on my other project, MLT, using BlueFish444 SDI cards
(http://www.bluefish444.com/). The BlueFish444 module for use with MLT
is not open source. The BlueFish's driver has immature (i.e., a bit
flaky) support for V4L2 and ALSA, but my MLT module uses the driver
API.
