  Mac Pro 1,1 with Blackmagic design

  Posted by Michael Fouther on October 11, 2013 at 12:51 pm

  I have a MacPro 1,1 (2008) which works with both FCP 7 & FCP X. The new issue that formed regarding the use of a Sony JH-3 Deck that I’ll use to in-guest our HDCAM tapes into FCP to perform our online final edit in HD at 1080p! I was told to add a PCI-e card which the BlackmagicDesign “DeckLink Studio” card will be a good capture card for my Mac Pro 1,1 (will that work with my Mac Pro 1,1?) I will be able to connect w/ SDI ports from the sony JH-3 Deck and on the Decklink Studio PCI card I get for my Mac Pro and then will need to get Deck Control for controlling with FCP 7 to batch capture HDCAM tapes into fcp at full quality, full HD resolution from the JH-3 deck for the final edit. Will this system work? Does this make sense?

  The Decklink Studio card will work in that mac, it will come with machine control, it will have SDI in and out.
