Reference Monitor - Capture Card
Still in the process of our HD Editing System Build (http://www.dvinfo.net/conf/attend-wo...tem-build.html) and had a question about the third monitor setup. The two reqular monitors are the Dell Ultrasharp 2408WFP and the GPU is the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 295. Even though I am still a fan of for CRT's, the LCD's are getting better. Two of which, the Panasonic BT-LH1760 and the Sony LMD-2050W we have access to. We use PP CS4. For the Reference Monitor and HD-SDI, I assume we need a PCI-e card. I have been reading and have seen some thoughts on the Matrox cards with PP, wondering some thoughts on the following and any suggestions:

I have just purchased the Matrox mino mxo with harware encoder and can turn my Samsung HD LCD into a broadcast monitor. I also purchased the Spyder 3 Elite....that works grate to calibrate my monitors.
Will let you know when it arrives next week: One thing though the drivers for Matrox Mxo for PC will be out in July.

The Matrox RT.X2 full card also can use any 1920x1200 DVI monitor as 1:1 pixel review in real time through Premiere.
I have this card for sale L.A. Color Shop | Online Photo/Video Gear Shop

-ASUS P6T7 WS Supercomputer LGA 1366 Intel X58 -Intel Core i7-950 Bloomfield 3.06GHz LGA 1366 -Nvidia GeForce GTX 295 I'll post over at Matrox and check it out but I'm guessing no-no since it's not on their site. That is why I was looking at the Blackmagic cards - mainly for the reference monitor/capture. Our system system is pretty fast and I have read a lot of issues with the Matrox RT.X2 and CS4. |

My experience with AJA products has been fantastic.
For your setup you may want to consider the Xena card. Also, if you ever plan to move to MAC hardware - just plug in the Xena card and it becomes a Kona card by installing the mac drivers. A nice engineer from AJA told me that at NAB. Last edited by Devin Termini; June 25th, 2009 at 09:25 AM. Reason: I can't spell |

I know have the matrox mini working fine on my i7.
It takes a lot of load of the processors. The one thing though if you work with PAL as I do... the instructional manual is a load of rubbish when it comes to calibrating your Broadcast monitor. All I need now is the drivers for the HD max compressor and I'm all set :-)

Which brings me back to the Blackmagic DeckLink HD Extreme & the AJA XENA. The XENA LH is around $250.00 more than the HD Extreme. Most of the posts regarding AJA have been positive. Both cards offer HD-SDI. I may have to run a comparison on both and more importantly how they preform with Premiere CS4. Most of our footage is shot using the Panny AG-HPX500. |
