    Hi, I have to decide in the next few days…
    I need a strong HD card (working in dvcprohd). No budget limit.

    please, help me.

    System:
    G5Quad
    FCP

    No budget limit – no question – get a Discreet Logic Inferno, running on an SGI computer. This is a teriffic product. And while you are at it, I could use a new Ferrari – if you get me the Ferrari, I will come and install the Discreet Inferno for you for free (you did say no budget limit).

    Thank you, Bob… A Ferrari for you!
    I mean “no limits” in the product range of this two company.

    Calling discreet for a quotation…

    For your DVCPRo hd

    Inferno not worth better off with Multibridge extreme with quad Huge 4210 array with Atto PCI-e FC card
    30″ display 2 nos

    Software
    FCP
    Sapphire,
    Mokey & Monet ( the best 2D and 2.5 D tracking software, people who dont have a Flame and Inferno and want a tracker and better keyer than them get these 2 software you wont need a Discreet advanced system)
    AE with Automatic duck or combustion or shake what ever you prefer.
    If you need high end color correction try color finnesse plug in for FCp or use FinalTouch
    maybe with a Tangent controller if incase you need to go grading

    This is my leathle system of choice

    Spend this it is lot more cheaper and you can afford to buy 2 ferraris and couple of beatles for your children and keep some money in Bank to pay interest for your next purchase

    discreet system expensive not worth & expensive to maintain.

    cheers

    Wouldn’t a Multibridge Extreme be some-what overkill?

    A Kona LHe would do fine, alsomst all the SD/HD analog and digital i/o you can ask for. However:

    – No SD > HD UPCONVERSION
    – No Dual Link HD

    Or perhaps a Kona 3 if you’re going all digital
