I have a fairly powerful VMware ESXi virtual server but my USB capture card (Genpix Skywalker-2) doesn't function properly using USB passthrough so it looks like I'm going to need to stick it in another machine.

I really wanted to consolidate machines but it looks like I'm going to need another option.

Can I use a very low-power machine (Intel Atom?) to capture content but then have my ESXi server encode the content? If so, how would this work and can anybody give me any advice?

Thanks!

    Not possible. TV card and the server process need to be running on the same PC.
