Yeah, your system specs look like they can run Multi-Bridge just fine. Unless you are planning on doing a lot of multi-layer and green screen compositing, BM MJPEG2000 codec is about as good as it gets for compressed video. If you are going to DVD, Blueray or web, it is a perfect inexpensive solution. And save your drive money for driving in Europe. If I didn’t have so much money in raid storage, and hardware I’d join you.

[manbart] “With this setup how would realtime performance be in Premiere.
Is Multibridge a stable reliable setup?”You can edit well with BM JPEG2000 codec in Premiere, and yes Multibridge is very stable with the right system config.
Bob is right as usual, if you are wishing HD uncompressed you need a different drive solution.

Unless your friend makes a living building video editors, I would not be to quick to buy. It may limit your options in the future. Look closely at specs from hardware vendors (ex. Blackmagic, Aja, Matrox, Cineform, etc. before you rush out and buy anything. A mistake now could hamper your options in the future for higher end capabilities. Just the wrong chipset on the motherboard can be a no show for some of these better hardware solutions.

If you export it as a MSDVAVI you will not loose any quality. Premiere maintains native DV quality extremely well.

Is this a new install of CS3 and HD card? Or was this system working and quit with new drivers? It sounds like the ASUS BIOS is not seeing the decklink card correctly.

Just a hunch here, is the DigiBeta set up to sync to input video or external reference? If you are feeding it an external gen lock reference and using SDI or Analog video, it needs to know what to reference to. (usually input video as a stand alone machine) There numerous menu settings in the DigiBeta that can effect frame edit accuracy, including compensation for edit timing delays.

As a side note, I am at work, and have just set up a test this am with a cheap ATI HD 2600 manufactured by ProColor. A $150 consumer video card. This is on a dual xeon work station. If I undock the monitor panel and size it for full screen in a dell 2405 secondary monitor, there are no jaggies, and I am displaying all 1080 lines correctly. It looks a little soft, but thats it.I think your problem might be the dvi to hdmi conversion, and the viz. The specs for the viz dvi input are 1366 by 768, which I suspect may be the true resolution of the monitor.
Somewhere in there lies the culprit.

Tim – well said and you covered the first base early on in this thread. How is Mark setting up (Premiere settings) I was assuming this to be correct from the dialog.

1920 refers to horizontal dots per scanline. Roughly wo thirds of 2560. Not half. Just pumping bits out of ram is incidental to how a card performs, as there so many other operations going on as Tim explained.
I went back and re-read this entire thread, and the third part of the equation is the Viz which overall looks to be a pretty fair LCD monitor for its price.
But lets just say for kicks the 8800 is fine here.
Would you try something as a test. If the 8800 supports 1366 x 768 try it and see if the half resolution issue goes away. If it goes black don’t leave the setting as damage could result to the Viz although its specs support it.I have ran into the need for custom timings for large multi image projectors in the past to make them display correctly, and XP supports it. It is entirely possible you may need to do this as well, but hopefully not. Below is a link that will give you a feel for what I’m referring to.

Sounds like you have it solved. Your friend gave you a similar solution to mine.

Premiere does not export those files directly to CD/DVD drives. You need to export to a hard drive, and use burning software to write it to CD. Hope that helps.
