AJA Kona 3 and Matrox MX02 Dilema
Hi All,
I’ve spent the last couple of weeks pouring over creative cow forums to gather information on building a new system/suite. Primarily my question concerns two things;
1) The viability of getting a AJA Kona 3 LHi card Vs Matrox MX02 LE (with Max…).
2) Future Proof/upgradability.
Basically i’m going to buy the 2010 Mac Pro when it comes out, load it up with a 2nd HDD set that up as a RAID 1 for OS protection etc then swap out the the RAM for either 8GB or 16GB of RAM from OWC. And while i’m shopping at OWC i’ll purchase a 8TB Mercury Pro Elite-AL RAID 5/10 system.
Thats the plan…however what i will be doing is purchasing two separate LCD monitors to connect to the Mac Pro…
On the one hand if i were to get a Matrox MX02, one of my LCD monitors would essentially (but in no way perfect) be a decent color grading monitor…something i do a lot of…
As i understand it both the AJA Kona 3 and Kona LHi, do not offer the “grading” function available with the Matrox MX02. However they do offer far more options in terms of capturing and cross conversions…
I mainly work with DV, HDV, XDCAM, and moving towards RED (all flavors…). What are everyone’s opinions, as to which hardware might suit me better?
