Excellent point Jeff.
To quote Adobe Photoshop CS2 Help Menu:

AJA Video – Serial Digital Video Interface and Conversion has Kona SD, Kona 2 and Kona 3 boards depending on the model of Mac and its PCI, PCIx or PCIe your clients have. These definitely work with Adobe After Effects and Photoshop. They might just need one of AJA’s IO’s which can be attached externally through a firewire port. The IO’s are around $1000. Check their forum here.
I believe, but can’t confirm the lower cost Blackmagic Design cards do this also. I don’t know why they wouldn’t since they wrote the drivers for the original AJA Kona cards.
I am less familiar with the Aurora Video Systems products.
All of these manufacturers have a forum here at the Creativecow.net so you can post a query in their forums.
Now the big question is how long you will remain just doing SD video or when you are going to move to HDTV resolutions.

Make sure your graphics are on a even number vertical position in your Motion tab of the Viewer.
Have you tried to do a search here, since this comes up all the time?

By common mode means are you in Edit Tape, Log & Capture or Print to Tape when the monitor goes on the fritz. For example does the monitor fritz out when in Log & Capture only.
The common denominator here is the Decklink card and its breakout cable since it affects your monitor and VTR.
Is the change in the monitor instantaneously or does it seems to fade, first loosing color and then getting progressively dark? If that happens, I would suspect and reference signal issue between the Decklink card and your Monitor.
I would first investigate if I have the latest drivers for the Decklink card. I would also note if the video going weird is related to time of day-temperature or time after firing up your Mac which would indicate a heat related intermittent component failure issue with the Decklink.

I’m sure the document came from another person, but I recommend getting in the habit of using Shift+Return = Insert line break (soft return or line feed in UNIX).
Hitting Return defines a paragraph break with is a carriage return/line feed.

Possibly it is loosing sync reference. Is there a common mode you are in when the monitor goes monochrome?
Does the Decklink card playout okay to the tape deck?
