previewing on a external monitor
Hi there,
I’m looking for a way to preview my comps on a broadcast monitor.
The monitor of choice currently will be the JVC DT-V24L3D.I do mainly HD-work, and occasionally some SD.
I’m running CS3 on a MacPro 8-core.
As far as i understand i’ll need a pci-card that outputs a HD-SDI-signal and connect it to the monitor. My options seem to be: Blackmagic decklink HD extreme, Aja Kona, Matrox MXO.
Do you have any good/bad experiences and/or advices?

We currently use a Kona 3 for monitor previewing (Also CS3 & 8 Core Mac). It works pretty well, but we sometimes have audio sync issues since there is no frame offset control that I know of in AE.
I would say just make sure the OS is not trying to use your PCI card as an audio output in System Preferences. Rather, set that in After Effects. That has caused me more headaches as the Kona seems to have issues with different programs demanding control of it at any given time.
