External Monitor Preview

[Aaron Cadieux]

I wish I could help you, but I’m a Premiere user. Be prepared for no feedback from this particular forum. I’ve been trying to get a response to some of my questions for months now. Either I’m blacklisted, or nobody knows anything about Blackmagics products. Either way, good luck.

Hey :

It’s really strange but I can’t get a clear response either from this forum. I don’t know why. I think it’s not so rare or complicated what I am trying to know.

my message is this: Help me if you know something more about it.
About your case I don’t know because i am just working with software. I receive and I deliver Image Seq.

Hey Guys:
I need to preview in real time ( After effect CS3 ) my HD 1080i work in an external monitor I am not sure with card should I purchase. I have a Viewsonic 1920×1080.

I know that the most used card are balckmagic and AJA Kona models but I have read some complaints about both.

Firstly I was after Intensity Pro (blackmagic) but it seems that it does not work well with HD output.
Then I searched info about DeckLink (Blackmagic). It seems it works ok but not more reference than oficial web.
Finally somebody told me that AJA Kona cards work really well but I don’t know which model will be the proper for monitoring my work in realtime.

Can anybody help me with this ?

Thanks
Andres
