Hi Vic,
The choice will depend on the setup of your other machines. If they do not have fast drives attached. you would probably want to use a less demanding codec like DV using “Blackmagic NTSC – DV” as the easy setup.
You will still be able to play the clips even without the hardware. Just install the DeckLink drivers and choose the same easy setup.
