HDMI capture card for Mac Dual 2.7 Power PC G5

Sorry, it doesn’t exist. The only card that does HDMI is the BM Intensity card and that is PCI-e, not PCI-x, which would be what you need for your G5.

Well, hold on. You can get an HDMI to SDI converter then use that with a Kona3x or Kona LH or any other PCI-X capture card.

This is one brand of converters:

That’s certainly a solution, albeit a pretty expenive one.

Are there confirmed reports that the IOHD will work with a non Intel Mac. Last I heard AJA was was saying Intel Mac only.

[Steve Eisen]

Yes, Intel only.

Thats what i thought, so unfortunately it will not be a solution for JohnForsen here.

Even that setup is less than a new Mac with an decklink intensity and it will give you much more options in the future.

If you want to go cheaper, you can get the convergent box with a cheapo decklink card and be just fine.

Thanks everyone
I emailed AJA tech support and they don’t have a solution for G5
Black Magic has their Multi Bridge, but I was hoping for a under $500 solution.
I’ll continue using Firewire until I get a new Mac sometime next year

Yeah, $500 probably won’t do it if you don’t have a capture card already.
