  • Output Card for Broadcast Monitor

    Posted by Seth Hancock on December 16, 2005 at 8:48 pm

    Hi all,

    I am completely new to FCP and am in the process of building a MAC G5. I am transitioning over from PC and was wanting to be able to out to a broadcast monitor. I have the PCI Cards for PC to do this but was wondering if there is anything else, other than Decklink, that can be used to output to an external broadcast/production monitor. Thanks in advance.

    If you’re shooting DV, the DV deck or camera can translate the video from FCP to analogue for output to your monitor.

    Other options for more exotic workflows include:

    Decklink cards, availabel from SD through to HD, and their multibridge extreme for PCIe macs.
    AJA IO devices which work on the firewire buss and translate SD video between analogue and digital
    AJA Kona cards, available for PCI and PCIe macs, do SD and HD.

    All the above options are great – there’s not a duffer among them! Bust you’ve got to pick the right one for your needs.
