What’s the best monitoring device for Premiere?

[Chris Tompkins]

Right now, and it will change, BMD and AJA i/o cards will Support APP.
Maxtrox does too, I think, I donno.

But still some major issues to be addressed in that arena.

Hi John

I am no techie so verify elsewhere but I have 5.5 and use Matrox M2OX Max. I have an outboard JVC DT-V24L1 broadcast monitor with a DVI input. I use an HDMI out from the Matrox (on a cable HDMI one end and DVI the other)and everything works yummy. I have one of the recommended nVidia cards and this gives me output to the JVC and a program image on my editing computer monitor. If I just knew how to edit…

Cheers

Bob

I’m running CS5.5 on a Mac. Card is the Decklink from BMD.
Feeding HD Monitor via SDI – no prob.

AJA still makes the best hardware for my money. We run all AJA Kona boards in our shop.

Right now AJA is still addressing some sluggishness that occurs when editing in an AJA timeline. The workaround for right now is to make sure that your Player is set to Adobe and NOT AJA. Also ensure that your audio preferences in the System Preferences is set to anything OTHER than the AJA Kona. Weird I know, but that’s what you need to do.

AJA is working to address these concerns as quickly as possible, but of course they’re also writing new drivers for FCPX, Avid, Autodesk and others all at the same time. So it’s taking a little longer than I’m sure they want it to, but it will come.
