What I meant to say was,

And Ken, the SDX900 provides a pretty good format for upconversion, especially if you have some NICE glass on the front of it.

Bob & Jeremy,

Many thanks for the advice. I guess my simple mind has a hard time wrappiing itself around the idea that ONE card can’t do it all. Editing gear is much cheaper than camera equip. – my G5/Pipe set up has paid for itself many times over, so I’m not opposed to spending some $$$ so that I can stay reasonably current.

One last question though – isn’t the AJA IO a little less in quality than the LH card? I’ve tried to wade thru the info on the AJA website, and haven’t been able to figure this out.

Thanks.

Not at all, both are same excellent quality.

[Bob Zelin] “there is NO QUESTION in my mind that the combination of the AJA I/O and the Kona 3 is far superior to simply purchasing the Kona LH or LHe. Why? Because of UPCONVERSION TO HD”

Or you can upconvert in your NLE. I can use FCP 5.1 to do this. Of course it is extra steps/time. And with an LH you don’t get dual sdi input. Not a problem in the OP’s enviroment I suspect.

Y’all be cool,
Robert
