  • Would it be foolish to buy before NAB?

    Posted by Bryan Keith on April 2, 2005 at 7:18 pm

    I need to get a new video card, and I’ve all but decided to get Decklink HD pro…..I could really use it in the next week, but I would be really bummed out if something new was introduced the week after or if card prices dropped or something.

    Would the general opinion out in cow-land be to wait if at all possible?

    thanks,

    bryan

    I would wait at this point. We are so close to NAB now. I’m going on the 17th, and I have to believe that there will be new drivers, price drops, a reintroduction of a problem-free multibridge, and perhaps a new card.

    If you need it now on a ‘paying job’ then buy it now, mine paid for itself on its first job in a few days, i could now use it as a spare or even afford to sell it for $1 (not that i am going to !)
    Otherwise wait but if its a new product it might not be available at NAB so that is another wait.
    I assume BLKM will give its current users software updates for some new features anyway.
