Hi Olivier,
From the way it was explained to me at least part the acceleration has to to do with the scaling math for upconverting the HDV to a full 1920/1080i frame for Final Cut. Instead of using the CPU to do this scaling the Kona cards are supposed do all the math using onboard hardware. This is supposed to leave more CPU cycle available real time effects or for other apps. The Kona cards are supposed to offload this math in a similar way for DVCProHD, and RT Extreme.
Hope that helps,
Gary
