Promise Pegasus

Eek. Didn’t BMG update their software this week? I wonder if that would fix it.

“I’ll be attaching a Blackmagic Ultrastudio express this afternoon. This is on an imac.” John… how is that working out for you? I just got a new 27″ iMac and pegasus r6 18TB raid and am trying to decide between the BlackMagic UltraStudio Express or AJA Io XT. BM is a third the price of the AJA… but doesn’t matter if it’s free if it doesn’t work right, eh? What say you?

Aloha Mick!

I like the blackmagic box. I’m sure the AJA box has a few extra bells and whistles, but I’m pretty darn happy with our BMG Ultrastudio Express. I just ordered the little Blackamagic HDMI/SDI monitoring box (I forget the name) and will be using that on a new iMac and moving the Ultrastudio to a mac mini that is connected to our machine rooms. Both AJA and BMG have great tech support, so either decision you make will be the right one.

The thunderbolt stuff really is useful.
