Any idea where to buy this and what it will cost? I have been waiting patiently for them to release a new RT system for Production Studio so I can upgrade software and finally but some hardware all at once. Now that it’s here I want to get my hands on this thing! When you click “Where to buy” on their website it gives you the number for their corportate offices, but they’re closed for the day.
Thanks for the info. I’d have to agree with the last post that I have had pretty good success with my card and while there is always something better out there, trading out the rest of my computer for a video card sounds extreme. It is great info to have for when I am ready make the HD leap and upgrade to another machine. Thanks!
But does it support three monitors like the Parhelia? I don’t mean two monitors and a TV out, I mean three monitors. What you are saying sounds great, but there’s no way I can go back to working on two monitors after having three for all this time. It’s bad enough when I have to work on my laptop!
That is starting to sound like a good idea as opposed to trying to piece together my own psuedo-HD system. I think I’ll wait until I can afford an Axio before I worry about editing HD myself. Of course when that day comes there will be some other latest and greatest piece of hardware! I need to become a blacksmith or somethnig and get a job where the tools don’t change so often!
What about the compatibility issue of the Decklink card and my Matrox Parhelia? Does anyone have both on the same machine? According to Black Magic they aren’t compatible.
Also, how big are HD files compared to a DV25 avi?
I forgot to mention that I have been fantasizing about Axio since I saw it at NAB, but I’m not ready to make that leap yet. I don’t do enough HD work yet to justify the cost, so I’m looking for some sort of stepping stone to allow me to do some work in HD until I feel all the standards and formats have been a little more sorted out. Then I have every intention of purchasing an Axio system. Any other less costly suggestions?
