Not really sure what the question is here, but the LHe has all the inputs you need, as far as I can tell. I think you should get a video patchbay to make connecting the outputs of the different decks to the LHe inputs easier; but other than that you should be good to go with the LHe…

Hmmm,
into which codec do you render? Which resolution of your composition? How do you import into Media 100 (slow import or fast import)? How do you preview from AE?

There are 2 options for you:
You could upgrade to Media 100 version 8(.2.3, which was the latest release of this line), which does run under OSX and is the latest software working with the P6000 hardware. So depending on your other hardware (CPU, storage,…) you theoretically could upgrade your system to OSX (I think 10.4.11 is the latest version that was unofficially tested successfully with V8.2.3).
The other option would be to switch to a completely new system with a new computer, new I/O card and new Media 100 software. On this system you also could run FCP or Premiere in combination with Media100, since they all can work with the Aja boards. I think you are even entitled to a discount when upgrading from a P6000-based system to a new Media 100 package; probably you should contact sales about that. Definitely a bigger investment, but it will bring you into the 21st century 😉

[Paul Crowe] “Is it a total waste of time to use the apple wizzard on start up of the new machine to copy the applications/setting to the new machine. I’m not sure which programs I have are universal my gut tells me this might be a bit off a waste of time – anyone tried this?”
It works. There are many preferences and applications that will migrate nicely. Others won´t, but I definitely would give it a try.
[Paul Crowe] “I’m running M100 13.0.1 on the Quad and I’m assuming the cross over from PPC to an Intel flavor of the same version of software will be free. If it’s not universal – is this the case? “
Media 100 is universal, so you can run it both on PPC and Intel with the same version. There are no different installers or apps for PPC and Intel.[Paul Crowe]
“I’m guessing it’ll make sense to upgrade to the newest M100 maximise the potential of the newer machine as with the Adobe suite which I’ll be upgrading from CS3 to CS4”
You should update to 13.0.2 or 13.0.4. In 13.0.4 currently the output of the Kona cards during acquire from analog sources is broken, so if you use this a lot you could stay with 13.0.2. Other than that, 13.0.4 is the way to go (with support for QuickTime 7.6.2, AE CS4 and Kona LHi). Plus, Media 100 Suite aka. V14 is expected to arrive this month, which will be a great update also.

What version of Media 100 Producer, and what MacOS and QuickTime version do you use? And is there a way to upload an example file to a server somewhere?

Wow, version 7 is really some time ago. So you are still running Mac OS9, right???
There are ColorFX in Version 7 already, I think, but maybe they were limited to some configurations. Not really sure about that.
If you load your clip into the edit suite by double-clicking it, you should have a triangle at the bottom left or right corner of the Edit Suite window. Clicking it will give you the extended Edit Suite options, and if supported you should see a “ColorFX” section there. There you can apply your colorFX to your clips. -
[CJ MacPherson] “Matrox MXO2 Support. Media 100 Suite now supports Matrox MXO2……Compatible with MacBook Pros and Mac Pros
I/O Support “That is a press release for Media 100 Suite aka V14, which has not been released but which is announced for July. The release date has slipped a little bit from this first announcement.
The other option for HDMI support (currently available with V13.0.4) is the Kona LHi, but of course this is only for a desktop system and not for a Laptop.
-
The new release of Media 100 with support for the MXO2 is not available right now, but I guess it should be in the next couple of weeks, since it is announced for July. I haven´t used the MXO2, but it looks good as a mobile solution.

Hmmm, tried it, and the effect exported correctly on V13.0.3 when placing it on a clip on a timeline and exporting the timeline as self contained.

Jim,
I guess most users know that Media 100 is not perfect, but neither is Final Cut or Avid or Premiere or any other NLE (or even any other software designed by humans). So I think your last comments here in this forum are not really very helpful.
It would be nice if your next comments on threads here would be a little bit more focused on solving the actual problems people are having, instead of just saying negative things about Media 100…
