HD-SDI output on a macbook pro 17″

“I need HD-SDI output in order to drive my external HD monitor. Problem… the Matrox MXO, the obvious choice which I just received, doesn’t support any monitors that are dual link.”
Ah…I think I read into the question WAY wrong. Which is why I initially asked if you meant you needed HD SDI to power an HD monitor. Gotcha. Yeah, I see this is quite a quandry.
In that case, the I/O HD will be your only option.

Sorry Jeremy, wasn’t meaning to disrespect you! It’s always good to get 2nd opinions, just in case there’s a creative solution you or I may not have thought of.
Thanks again for your recommendation, that’s most likely what I will end up doing.

Thanks Shane… of course, it’s three times the money of the MXO, but life is hard. 🙂

none taken. SOme people will tell you that editing on a laptop is ludicrous. With the ioHd and the fast storage options that you can connect to a laptop these days, I say they are ludicrous.

It is a much more powerful machine than the MXO.

Yea, I get that, but all I really need now is HD-SDI output… I’m sure once I get it I’ll find use for all the other features.

If you don’t need input, then the MXO and a 23″ is what you need.

Also, the ioHd isn’t available until July. The MXO you can get right now.

Thanks, but now that I’ve had a taste of 30″ I’m not going back. I don’t need the input, but if that’s my only HD-SDI out option running the 30″, so be it.

Well, you can use the 30″ monitor as your monitor, until you need to output, then you can use the MXO and your HD monitor. Or get the 23″ ACD. Or wait until July and get the I/O. One of my mottos is buy what you need when you need it. If you need HD SDI out now, then use the MXO and trade the 30″ for a 23″.
