“The other is for video / audio I/O to your computer. Your video capture card determines what types of video formats your system is capable of working with.”

With that being said, does one have to purchase some sort of capture device then, such as the Kona? Or, is there an existing capture device that comes with the G5.

Could you suggest a book to better differentiate these concepts?

Thanks,
Jason

Once again, many thanks for taking the time to answer my questions. To be quite honest, I wasn’t really sure the how or what was given to broadcasters ie: DVD, DV tape, loner hard-drive, ect. I hadn’t quite gotten there yet, but great info though! I guess was concentrating more on the accepted industry formats.

Cheers!

Thanks Gary for the response.

I did actually mean 1080i, my apologies for my newbie ignorance. I’m just now learning about the all of the current technologies, multiple formats, who uses/ accepts what, technologies round the corner, FCP, what computer specs are needed, the list goes on and on… I must say it’s a bit overwhelming. Whewwwwww!

From what I’ve gathered though, it seems to me there is no pro-sumer camera that allows you to do everything (all formats) is accepted by all (networks), is under 10K and isn’t going to change in the next 6 months; EXCEPT… MAYBE… the HVX200. And even then, the first generation will probably go through some transformation when the reviews start coming in.

It just seems like television as well as everything other genre will eventually move to HD. DV will go away, HDV will return to the orphanage and HD will become the new standard. So the question is when do I jump in and not waste my precious dinero?

My apoligies, it’s just that I’m making the purchase on Tues and was trying to get a few last opinions.

Happy New Year!

I’m wondering about 2 different videocards for the G5 Dual 2.7 or 2.3, 2GB, w/ FCP 5. The two cards I’m considering are:

ATI Radeon 9650
GeForce 7800XT

I’m looking at a (2) 20″ monitor set-up, with the UltraSharp 2005FPW.

Once again I appreciate all of your expertise.

Thanks,
Jason
