Deckilink Help
Hi there
I am purchasing a new mac and using final cut to edit. i would just like to know what decklink system i should use to capture and export the most types of formats, i.e. HD, mini DV, beta, VHS etc. Or what other specs (i.e. RAID, more ram etc) i would need for a standard/sufficient (…and cheapest) Decklink system. I am editing mainly for television and LCD displays.
Mac Specs:
Mac Pro 2.66GHz QC Intel 250GB/2G DDR/ SD/ NV7300Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Im very happy with Multibridge Extreme.

Just so you understand; the Decklink Multibridge Extreme is no longer available from Blackmagic. They have replaced it with the Eclipse at a substanchable higher cost.
The Multibrige Pro is a good fit unless you need 4:4:4 HD color space.
BTW – Both Multibrige components now support only HDMI output (not DVI-D) which means their Extreme built in full pixel HD display on a 23″ Apple Display is now more complicated on the new Pro and Eclipse. You will now need to purchase the Decklink HDLink and feed it from one of the SDI outputs from the Multibridge for HD display.
