  • What HD Card for G5 with PCIX?

    Posted by Ed Stevens on April 28, 2007 at 4:14 pm

    My SYSTEM

    MAC dual G5 2.5 gig. 6.5 gb RAM.
    Apple 23″ display / Samsung 17″ LCD / Panasonic BT-LH2600WP
    Blackmagic Decklink Extreme card v5.2.4
    OSX Tiger w/10.4.3 upgrade
    FCP 5 w/ 5.0.4 upgrade = production Suite
    1 300gig scratch disc
    500GB G-Raid Firewire800
    Decks = Beta-SP, DVCpro, DigiBeta.
    Audio Mix = Mackie 1604 VLZpro
    I believe I have the stock display card
    Panasonic AJD-230H DVCpro deck

    I need to upgrade to HD. What can get me there with HD and analogue
    inputs and outputs. I was looking at the Multi-Bridge IOs. Are they only for PCIe?

    Thanks in advance

    Hello,

    The Multibridges are PCIe only and will not work with your machine.

    The only HD solution we have for the PCI-X G5s is the DeckLink HD Pro PCI-X card. This will work with your Digibeta as well as any HD decks that have HD-SDI output. Unfortunately, it does not have analogue inputs and will not work with your BetacamSP deck.

    regards
