IO HD vs V3HD by Motu

[Rob Brambila]

Good point, Bob. Very well put. But I think the comparisons are flying around because the IOHD and the V3HD are firewire devices
and the Eclipse is a PCIE based device. But I agree with you that the Eclipse is very exciting and I can’t wait to start on those rounds of testing.

Thanks,

And, Bob it is because a big, double-truck wide, glossy photo of a dual-stacked box with lots of lights and a ton of connectors turns our heads. Editors (well, many of us) are gear heads. A PCI card is not all that exciting…but the Motu looks like a modern, rockin piece of gear.

Looks like…

Not sure what it behaves like…yet.

Bob, you are so right about blackmagic’s eclipse, in my opinion this device is the benchmark to use with a mac pro and FCP Studio 2.

Exactly Bob… we get curious and try to learn more about new technologies only when we see or hear about them, hoping it would make our systems more efficient and our client offerings more diverse. If we don’t see/hear about them, we don’t try to shift the paradigm. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Again, what are you actual needs? I asked in an earlier response because you don’t have your profile filled out. Depending on what you actually need to do, the Io HD might owrk, the V3HD might work, the Kona series might work and so forth.

What are your actual needs as far as I/O and editing functionality in your situation?

Hi Walter,

I just got the chance to edit my profile so it’s online. Thanks for your “always” useful advice!
