Kona and Decklink on same system
Would this work?
For my new Mac Pro/FCP system I was thinking about buying the new Black Magic Decklink HD Extreme for capture and monitoring and when funds permit I would buy the Kona 3 and still use the Decklink for analog capture.
Right now I use beta, DV, HDV and P2 DVCPRO HD 720p 23.98. The hardware conversion and cross conversion is why I would later go to the Kona 3.
For now I just need analog conversion and monitoring so I figure the decklink is only a few hundred more then buying an analog to SDI converter later to go along with the Kona 3.
I’m just not sure if the two play well together on the same system.I also currently own the HDLink
Thanks,

Do any of these decks have SD analog input? Why don’t you just do that and use Firewire capture while you save up for a Kona 3 plus a Blackmagic analog to SDI Mini-converter.
I think cramming two cards in the same system is a bad idea and your chances of finding someone who’s tried it will be slim. Also, available PCIe slots are like gold. You don’t want to waste one.

And it simply won’t work. The drivers will conflict.

You can not have the drivers of he two of them installed at the same time.
