In lieu of official response, it’s late June according to BMD distributor as of 1 week ago. It also depends on when and if you pre-ordered. The few of them that I ordered back in early May will likely ship sometime in July.

Which BMD card is it, and what application(s) do you plan to run on the system?
BMD cards aren’t graphics cards and can’t drive your display (user interface) monitor.

Should work without 3rd party drivers, according to this:

Any chance you could try the card in yet another Mac Pro?

The short answer is yes, it does require a computer with an available PCIe slot and a compatible motherboard.
There isn’t an easy (and inexpensive) solution for you outside of H.264 Pro Recorder:

Or, if you have (or can make available) analog outputs on your game console, use Video Recorder:

I don’t believe so – I would check with Jon on Stardom forum. Usually port multiplied eSATA is required for “dumb” multi-bay boxes that have no RAID brain. SohoRAID on the other hand does have a built-in RAID controller.

3-4 ProResLT streams at about 10MB/s each – you should be able to pull it off on a single FW800 external drive (current model, 7200rpm). Have you tried that? It’s good for 70-75MB/s and this should be enough for 3-4 ProResLT streams.
That said, getting a 2-bay RAID0 or 4-bay RAID0/5 like with SR4 should help – even if not by much.
You are correct that while GigE offers potentially faster speeds than FW800, in reality it’s rarely the case.

which is a date that does not exist? June ends on the 30th last time I checked…
old joke
Never mind… 🙂

Stardom SohoRAID SR2 2-bay box: choice of RAID0 or 1, well designed and well made, low noise, health monitoring. $100 for eSATA/USB2.0 and $160 for quad-interface (including FW800).
Personally, I like the design way better than Burly’s.

Scott,
The HDMI 1.4 spec is backward compatible with all previous specs:

…which I think makes it redundant for BMD to explicitly state so on their specs.
