Decklink is the card Blackmagic is the company. You want to get some type of HD Card.

HD Link takes SDI and converts to DVI or HDMI.
I don’t believe it goes the other way.
I think this guy wants DVI to go to HD SDI.
See my post on your other post about a converter from Gefen.

The Kona 3 is the more professional of cards, I almost bought a Decklink until I read a little more and found that their audio inputs were sub pro. I bought a Kona card several months after using the AJA IO and wished that I had gotten the Kona card from the gitgo. Since then I’ve bought another and am so glad that I did. The KONA 3 will give you UP/Down conversion and accelerates DVCPRO HD among RT Extreme. You won’t be upset getting the Kona 3.

This is a question of which converter. It appears the MXO, Kona LH and the Multibridge. The multibridge is not a card.

I was looking at the Multibridge (external)

and comparing it to the Kona or Matrox MXO. External is more flexible.

actually it is a PCIe card, that connects to the breakout box.
