    Hi Diogo,

    You can certainly use the DeckLink card + 2 other monitors. The type of card you’ll need will depend on what kind of tv you will be using as the connection type varies. However, I would recommend the DeckLink HD Extreme as a starting baseline as that will output SDI and analog in both SD and HD.

    Thank you Kristian for your quick response.

    Also, Do you know if I can use the decklink card in Win XP 64Bits environment?
    I ask you this because I will power up the new system with 8Gb of RAM. Since most of my work is done in after effects I will probably benefit from that.

    Last question (I promise!) I’m considering the Nvidia Quadro FX 1500 (I think this card will be sufficient for my needs), is there any issues that you know of, between this card and Decklink HD Extreme?

    Regards
    Diogo

    Hi,

    Yes, the card will also work in a 64-bit Windows environment. Just use the right drivers that correspond to your operating system (32 or 64 bit).

    I’m not aware of any issues with Nvidia cards.
