    Thanks Bob,
    One more quick question…..I would like to set up a second monitor In my edit suite for color grading in Color…..Can I run a DeckLink SDI card on my Mac Pro to feed the same HDLink Pro/Cinema display monitor setup. Will this give me better monitor performance when doing color correction.
    Thanks again, Claude

    Claude, I’m curious if you pursued this solution. I’m looking to do the same thing since we can’t afford a broadcast monitor. The HD Link looks to be a nice, cheaper alternative to the latter. I’m curious how well the LUTs work with consumer TVs or even computer monitors like Eizo or Apple Cinema. I know it won’t be completely as accurate as a broadcast monitor but if its good enough for DVD and web work, we might purchase one. Any thoughts?
