    I need motion and coulor monitoring SD and HD. I need FCP monitoring in HD and SD SdI (one channel)
    What card should I go for ?

    thanks

    This has been discussed multiple times in this forum and if you do a Search you’ll find more answers. Short story.

    LHi: cannot do RED workflow, cannot do 2k workflow.
    DOES have Analog I/O and HDMI I/O

    Kona 3: Can work in pretty much any workflow.
    DOES NOT have Analog inputs. All digital inputs and the only analog are the component and RCA audio outputs.

    Both cards do Up / Down / Cross Conversion.

    FWIW, Kona 3 does not have RCA audio out unless you also get the breakout box.
