  • buy a card, not sure either MultiBridge or MB extreme or a kona 3

    Posted by Z.man99 on March 25, 2007 at 10:24 pm

    i have a 3gig intel, and i am now looking to get a video card not sure which will cover all i need. Multibridge or the MB extreme or a kona 3. now I use beta sp, digibeta, DVC pro HD. I output to beta sp the DVC pro HD, digibeta or a D5. The MBextreme can also act as a converter which i guess means i could bump up a beta sp to a digibeta or go the other way.
    any help would be great.

    OH yea i saw that aricle in the cow mag, who makes that keyboard it looks like it has a lot of keys mapped already.

    Thanks a lot,
    andrew

    Bella makes the keyboard. You can find them by doing a google search for Bella Keyboards.

    Best,

    Andrew,
    I work for a local pro video reseller, New Media Hollywood. We sell many brands of capture cards & related hardware and software. Give me a ring or an email and we can talk about which solution will work best for you.

    DO NOT go with multibridge. I bought 2 for 2 different companies I worked for. Nothing but problems and their tech support is HORRIBLE. I also purchased kona 3 for 2 companies. One is still working great after 2 years. One had a problem with sdi in after a year of intense use. Called AJA tech support. They actually walk you through some trouble shooting steps, unlike decklink, plus, once aja tech support agreed their was a problem, they shipped a brand new unit first and gave you 10 days to return your old one after the replacement came in. No down time due to missing hardware. That is service. I would not hesitate to go aja over decklink any day of the week.

    I have had trouble with multibridge on both PC and MAC. Purchase at your own peril.
