Thanks for your response.
An example would be that I have PAl DV file on the disc and want to convert it to any HD format so that I end up with say a QT HD version of the file.Paul

All solved now – it was me being stupid with some settings!
Just hope the mac does not crash again.Paul

I have now reinstalled the software and the card and the computer switches on OK but still left without FCP taking control. I am using Leopard with driver 5.1.
Is there some way I can force FCP to use the card?

Nigel your review of the MXO – was that on a PAL system?
I ask because I am told that the 23 inch Apple display only works as a colour monitior on NTSC systems because of the refresh rate.
Is that your experience?
I live in the UK and am considering going that route.Paul

Shane -If I choose to go the card route. not the MXO box, then the card has the extra DVI out for the broadcast monitor and the component out out for the plasma = all three monitors and the plasma at once – right?

As I see it (and I am sure I will be corrected if wrong)
If I use the MXO then I will lose one of the 30 inch displays because basically the MXO takes the DVI in and out leaving nowhere to plug in my second 30 inch.
BUT if I use a card, the card will give me a DVI out to a broadcast monitor plus the component out to the 42 inch plasma whilst still leaving me the two 30 inch monitors connected — right?

Thanks once again.
Having decided to investigate the JVC 24L2D I cannot trace it anywhere on Google!
Its only reference is back to your messages?
Have you got the model number right?Paul

My plan is now to:-
1. Check out with Matrox to see if I can use the MXO in PAL land – I do not expect a positive answer.
2. In any even get the AJA Kona LHe card as it will let me connect the plasma and the broadcast monitor (I guess not at the same time unless you can suggest some sort of splitter box.) and I will get some RT effects speed benefits as well. I just like the quality vibes coming out of Kona products.
3. If step one is a no go with the MXO what colour LCD broadcast monitors would you go for?
I have no idea of which is best – its purpose would be to colour correct using Colour – or Color as I should learn to call it 🙂 I do not want to go mad on price but would need something that can do the job properly.

OK. thank you – almost there now.
You wrote, in relation to outputting to a broadcast monitor:-
“For that you will need an HD capture card. AJA and Black Magic make cards for this”
Which exact card would you suggest?
Won’t a AJA Kona LHe do that job as well as outputting to the large plasma?Paul
