Cards like this should only be used for security purposes only. I am a dealer for a security company that makes Windows based DVRs and we use cards like that that support 16, 24, and 32 cameras at once. What happens is that the card has a rated frame rate, lets say 240 fps. This means that the card can handle a total of 240 frames per second over all of the inputs at once. This means that on most cards you assign a certain recording FPS to each camera. Also, the cards are usually stuck to a lower resolution so that the card can keep up. I think that its usually like 640x480 or something like that. Finally, most of these cards don't support sound. This is because when recording security footage most of the cameras cannot support sound, there is not usually wiring for sound and sound takes up a lot of space on the DVR. The cards I sell support sound but I don't usually hook the sound up because there is no need for it. Therefore, don't use this card for anything theater related.
