  • extra graphics card for G5

    Posted by Nomis on July 7, 2005 at 1:25 pm

    Hi all!

    I’m using a g5 with two lcds connected to my current graphics card.

    I’d also like to hook up a tv to monitor/test my after effects work. Has anyone installed a second graphics card into a g5? if so what kind?

    Really appricate any suggestions.

    Thanks cow people!

    Your best bet would be to add something like a Blackmagic DeckLink card if your ultimate goal is to preview on a video monitor.

    If you are inclined you can hook up a DV camera to the firewire port and output the camera to a TV. It will have dv compression but it beats nothing.
