I'm sorry.

Hmm. I have both USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 on my laptop, and I connected the
3 grabbers to USB 3.0 HUB,
but the HUB was then connected to USB2.0 port :(. My mistake.
So I need to check what will happen when I connect the HUB to USB3.0 port.
But I will be at home in a week. If it works, then maybe it will be
possible to use 3 grabbers with a single Orange Pi 3 (it has USB3.0),
or  NVIDIA Jetson Nano (the same price as 3x Raspberry Pi 3).

I want to use 3 grabbers, because I have already installed 3 analog
cameras at home, which are connected to a small CRT Display.
I want to have remote access to them, and it looks like a fun project for a SBC.

Thanks,
Tomasz
