DVCPRO100 probably.. and it’s compatible with RT Extreme in FCP, as well as acellerated by a Kona 2 card I know…

It’s not “accellerated” by the Kona2. The Kona2 just scales up the video from 960×720 to 1280×720 (or 1280×1080 to 1920×1080), which in my book is not “accelleration”, but final scaling of the video before it gets converted to uncompressed for transfer over SDI. The Decklink HD cards do exactly the same, but again, I’d not call it accelleration.

Giving AJA their due, it does tell you all this in the fine print in their pdf, but yes indeed, it’s a touch of marketing hype. But as hype goes, it’s not too serious.
