Analog Capture Server LIVES! (lemmy.sdf.org)

Screenshot is of me tunneling into my headless analog video capture server I put together out of an old Thinkserver and a Magewell 1080p capture card, both of which were ebay gambles.

Here's the flow:

VCR and Hi8 decks -->
Kramer VPC-23 AV Switcher -->
RetroTINK 4k, upscaled to 1080p HDMI -->
Magewell Pro Capture card -->
Thinkserver RS140

AntiX headless install on the server. I ssh in to kick off the capture script I wrote, which also publishes a preview video stream to my LAN. I then just kick back and tune in via mpv.

I went as far as setting up an nfs share on the server, so after a capture I can pull it onto my workstation, to trim, edit, etc.

I'm familiar with vhs-decode, on account of considering a domesday for digital backup of my large LaserDisc collection. I decided in the end though, that both applications are just way above and beyond what I want to do.
