    Well I think I am at the end of my Cinewave journey–CW doesn’t like my new XRaid drive. And like many CW orphans Kona will be my new home. Looking for advice on which card I should get and any potential hiccup I might encounter.

    My System:
    Dual 2.5Ghz G5
    4GB or RAM
    XRaid stripped to Raid 50
    Beta SP 1800 and Panasonic AH-93 Deck

    I do mostly SD stuff, but wouldnt mind having the ability to do HD. I need Component and SDI in/out.

    Thanks in advance for any and all advice.

    you need an AJA I/O. In the future, you can buy the Kona 2 or Kona 3. The Kona 2 is for PCI-X computers, and the Kona 3 is for PCI Express computers.
    The AJA I/O works with both, and it will do composite, component and SDI. It will also act as an upconverter to HD for you when you get the Kona later on.
