Another thing you should check is the actual configuration of the Xserve RAID. I highly doubt this is the problem (since I doubt anyone would set it up like this), but you may want to check to make sure that journaling is off on the drives in the Xserve RAID. Also double check that you are indeed striping across all 4 drives. A single ATA133 drive is not fast enough for uncompressed 8bit. The reason FW800 drives work is because inside they stripe across 2 drives with a hardware RAID 0 (at least in the case of the G-RAID products).

You should easily be able to capture uncompressed 8bit or 10bit with that system.

I don’t really get the beef about the latency. You can make the canvas match the output of the Io by changing the frame offset in the preferences. The only downside to this is if you monitor audio out from the computer for some reason, it will be off from the canvas.

Oh well, I hope the DeckLink works for you, I do agree with Tony though. Since you already had an Io, why not get the Kona2 and keep all the video interface hardware coming from the same company?

Thanks for the heads up Tony.
