I am curious. I have the Kona Lh card in my computer for capturing analogue HD signals.
I have not used the output for monitoring HD material…yet.

In your opinon, using a 2nd Apple Cinema Display (say 23″) with the Kona Lh card, how would you compare that setup for color correcting and editing, to adding a professional CRT monitor from Sony (either an HD monitor for like $5K or an SD monitor for 1K)?

Does the Kona Lh card do something so the LCD display shows very accurate colors? How accurate? Good enough for decent HDTV work? Good enough for a feature film?

Lastly what about comparing (as a monitoring solution) the Lh card to the MXO Matrix…purely as far as observing the images…will you get the same quality image using say an Apple Cinema display or is one more color accurate.

Thx so much in advance…your posts are very good..the ones I read at least.

I heard Motion also can utilize more than 8GB of RAM, even the full 16GB for more real time effects…is that true as far you know?

Also, I do not imagine this extra RAM from 8 to 16GB would effect Compressor would it?

I am buying an 8 Core system and trying to figure out if I should get 8GB of RAM or 16GB of RAM.

I use Final Cut Pro, Motion and Shake quite a bit.

Anyone know if 16GB is overkill or will it speed things up in Motion and Shake in particular?

Thanks-
