OT: Blackmagic Decklink Extreme and new MacPro system and FCP 5

[Devin Crane]

I almost bought one but the lack of Professional Audio inputs deferred me to AJA. It might work for you but I’ve heard that AJA is a step above Decklink.

[Devin Crane] “but the lack of Professional Audio inputs”

What lack of professional audio inputs? Decklink Extreme has analog, SDI audio, and AES inputs.

Devin,

Sean is right, seems your research into the audio aspects of the Decklink cards was a tad off.

[Varangian] “Believe it or not, I’v been told that Deckling has a no returns policy, so I want to proceed with caution before I buy.”

I find that hard to believe, but I supposed anything is possible.

AJA has their drivers about ready to go so I would assume BlackMagic must have their drivers about ready to go as well. Have you directed this question to BlackMagic on their forum?

yea, isn’t that surprising. I got that info from videoguys (the retailer)
I suppose I should double check with Blackmagic.

Just for the record, in the retail world they call that upselling… And, moreover, many retailers encourage upselling and give prizes to salesmen for doing it.
