    hey there,
    trying to wade through al the marketing hype surrounding both of these great products.

    is there a blow for blow comparison of the Kona 2 and the decklink equivilent?

    so far it seems blackmagic may have the edge on speed of driver releases and bug fixes

    any thoughts welcome

    Both are great, stable and do the job well. It all depends on what exactly you want to do. Which HD/SD format, framerates you’ll work with, whether you need hardware up/down conversion…

    Kona is not so cross-platform as I underestand.
