Glad to help Bill. Many other people on the Sage forum have been mixing HD
and SD capture on the same server, and apparently the software handles the
whole shebang nicely. You might take a look at their User Forum and see all
of the thousands of posts and get a feeling for how people use and like /
dislike their products. Also, their software has free 30 day totally
functional trials which allow you a total evaluation at no risk.
