Thankyou for your respone Baz. You have answered my question. But now I am interested into what options I have as a Macbook Pro owner to breakout, as it were , to utilize this setup as a usable, if stopgap, editing suite.

AJA IOHD maybe? this may be intended to be of a more portable device. I intend to upgrade to a Mac Pro at some point in the future, but I want to make sure what I purchase now will be applicable to my future setup

any ideas?

Thankyou for your time.
