    all of them. They are all professional cards. It depends on your application. If you have a Mac Pro, your “dual monitor” comes from your ATI or NVidia card in your Mac Pro. The Blackmagic will output to your TV monitor that you will see your program on. Blackmagic offers a wide range of Decklink cards that can go to various monitors with various connections – HDMI, analog component, HD-SDI, etc. It depends on your application, and your budget. No one can tell you to buy the Decklink SDI card if you don’t have a monitor that has an HD-SDI input on it !

    As Bob said, you have to answer that question yourself. What kind of TV are you trying to output to?
    Does it have HDSDI in? or HDMI in? Are you trying to output to an HDdeck? Once you answer those questions, go to the Blackmagic site and look through their decklink products and choose one that meets your needs. Some have both HDSDI and HDMI, some only one or the other. Some have input and output, some don’t. Do you need to capture from a deck? If so, you should get a card that handles in and output for that device as well. There are plenty of models to choose from, but you need to figure out what your workflow is going to be first.
