ppl are right, 1030 cant encode (i couldn't imagine that !), only decoding,
and afaik 1050 & 1650 low profile are dual slots, so, i may not fit into
hpe (sure, one can alose tinker with riser cards & cables to make these
cards external :-))  today these cards  usually have enough cpu for doing
your 4 1080p at 25/30 fps (with reduced complexity presets), you'd need enough
ram to hold 8M nv12 pixels... but these are not cheap even 2nd hand,
chances are big a combo of 1650 & hpe would be more expensive than some
different box. +, you've solved your load pb anyway with your mac :-)
