  • Edit hardware for new Mac system

    Posted by Mike Allmendinger on November 16, 2007 at 8:03 pm

    Hi all,

    I’m building a new Mac system with Adobe CS3 PP. I’m trying to decide what editing hardware to buy that will integrate best with CS3. Aja Kona? BlackMagic Decklink? Matrox?

    I see that most of CS3 PP is not compatable (totally) with Leopard yet. But that aside what’s my best option?

    Thanks in advance!

    Cost, what you will use it for and what you can find on each systems comparisons online. Users of one will swear by it if they have had no problems. Matrox have had a close relationship with Adobe for many years now and have one of the most solid Hardware based Uncompressed HD system out there – Axio. They have big fans with this hardware, it is PC based tho. They do have a Mac MXO. Don’t know the full details about its road testing. Black magic are another big player. Cheaper, but not necessarily worse. It does have some instability issues from time to time. If you get an Adobe OpenHD system you should have no problems. (adobe.com)
