Buying Advice
I have a G4 dual 1.42ghz machine with 2 gig of RAM, Leopard 10.5.11, FCS 2 and I’m ready to buy an new converter since the old DA MAX doesn’t do HD. Wich coverter is the best for me to buy the Blackmagic Design Multibridge Pro or the AJA IO, I mostly do SD projects but this will change soon since I already do a couple of HD proyects. Please let me know which converter is the one I should buy.

the aja is Firewire 800 and does prorez only, which is fairly processor intensive, your g4 may not be fast enough even if it had the FW800 ports.

Hi,
You’ll really need a G5 or better machine to do HD. The Multibridge Pro will not run on your G4 as the G4 does not have PCI Express slots. The PCI slots simply does not have the bandwidth for HD video.
