Virtual input sources

Hello community,

I'm completely new to Arena, please be patient to my possible inconsistencies :-)

In my experimenting with Arena, I try to figure out how to create a composition where more than one SDI inputs could be used for layers / columns, without the presense of hardware capture cards. As of now, there is no option yet for me to acquire any SDI capture hardware. Is there any solution where more than one input sources could be emulated, (i.e. "virtual" SDI inputs) and then be used in the composition (under the section Sources > CAPTURE DEVICES)? I need it only for experimenting and familiarising myself with Arena, and not yet for any production/live usage.

Any suggestion / proposal is kindly welcomed!

Hey brinkoko,
why not simply use different video clips as placeholders for the various SDI inputs?

What is the difference?
