Beta Deck Hookup to FCP – d link card?
I am trying to figure out what is needed to hook up a beta cam deck to digitize material into my computer. Can anyone tell what kind of card is needed, I was told a D link card? I was wondering what is the best one and the approx prices.
I have a PowerPC G5, Dual 1.8 ghz
Thanks.

You need a card that can capture component and that has serial deck control. There are several models that will work. You’ll need to get they type of card that will work with your system (pci-x or pci-express), or you can get a firewire option like the AJA IO LA. The two main players in the market are AJA and Blackmagic Design, with Matrox getting into the market again.
