    Any opinions? I know that the HDlink’s new features were just announced. Prior to this has anyone had the luxuary of using both cards? Any opinions?

    Thanks

    Kona 2 hands down for me not only for the quality of the product, but for the quality of the tech support. I tested products from both companies and went with the K2 and recently added a second Kona 2 suite.

    In this arena, you get what you pay for I think, and there aren’t any “free lunches”. Both companies make viable products, however, I think the Kona 2 card is the top of the heap today…

    Uh,
    the HDlink is for monitoring sd/ hd video on a DVI display and the Kona 2 is a capture card.
