Decnklink Pro from G4 to G5?
Hi Everyone
I recently had to put one of my G4’s to rest, the motherboard finally gave out, so while cleaning it out, i found a decklink pro card installed, (previous editor switched out VTRs to a DSR-25, but never pulled out the card from the tower) I tested it on another G4 and it works fine.
Now my question would be, can i use this particular card on an Older G5 w/ PCI-X slots (Dual 1.8Ghz 2.5GB RAM)? I would like to install so i can have another machine that captures via SDI.
Thanks all!

Hi Dave,
If it’s a G5 with PCI-X slots, then it will work fine.
Some of the G5s have PCI slots (not PCI-X). These will not work.
One quick way to tell is to look at the number of memory slots in the machine. If there are 4, the Mac has PCI slots and will not be compatible. If there are 8 RAM slot, it will work.
