currently which DV capture card fits best with premiere pro 2.0?

[Aanarav Sareen]

As of this point, the best solution for DV is to use a generic firewire card with a powerful system. The Matrox cards don’t have fully functional drivers as of yet.

If you intend to use PP2.0 =DO NOT BUY THE MATROX RTX-100=
I own the RTX100, although it has served me well with PP6 – 6.5, it is not
conpatable with PP2, and though they may FINNALY make drivers work with PP2.0 for 720×480 (which is the only format this card is intended to use) it will NEVER be able to do HDV etc.
Also the hardware requirements for your machine are strict. Matrox does not support much of the new hardware like mobos and chips, which recently have come about.

I am planning to build a new machine. AN832-sli Nvidia / AMD X2 / GTX7900 but since this configuration is not supported by the RTX100 I will need a new I/0
board. Maybe the X2 will be good (I’m sure it will never do anything except what they initially tell you) but it will probably do that well.

I will also be looking at the Blackmagic Multibridge Extreeme, if they can work out the 8 bit AVI problem.

Hope this helps.

Hi Dangerd

To save you a little headache, The A8n32 Sli does not work well with multibridge extreme. The PCIe bus will be swamped by your Nvidia 7900, and MultiBridge will not run.

PS
We have been Matrox reseller, and local support for 5 years now.
