Card or Multibridge or…???
We have a quad G5 and final cut Pro 5.0.4
We want to connect to our online edit system where we have a DV deck, beta sp and digi beta deck. Eventually we will also
have an HD deck.
What is the best card or break out box out there? I am looking at the black magic HD Extreme card or the Multibridge.
Any thoughts? Something better? AJA Kona??thanks

Well I’m really partial to AJA products. You could do fine with the LH card… if you want cross conversion though (i.e. any flavor of source video to another flavor as you capture as long as the frame rates match), you’ll want a Kona 3 (This is the best card on the planet for FCP IMHO) and you’ll need a component to SDI conversion for the analog sources. AJA’s Io LA is the ticket there I think. Never tried it, but doesn’t your digibeta have component analog in? if so, you could do the A/D conversion thru it I’ll bet.
