Black Magic Decklink Studio
I need to be able to import old footage from a BetaSP deck into my new AVID using MacPro computer and Media Composer 4.0. It was suggested to me that I buy a Black Magic Decklink Studio deck to use. Does anyone have any experience with that? Will it work with AVID?
Thanks.

Not a great suggestion.

No. Avid does not support any capture cards from Blackmagic at this time. Media Composer Version 5.5 does support, in addition to Avid hardware, the AJA iO Express for capture.
You could conceivably use the Media Express 3 utility, which is bundled with Blackmagic cards to capture the footage to a Quicktime codec readable by Avid, then import the files. If you upgrade the Media Composer 5.5, you could also use AMA to edit with the Quicktime files captured by Media Express.
But again. No. You cannot use this card directly with your Avid system.
