Oscar and Alan,
Thanks for the feedback.
I should have said Decklink Multibridge Extreme vs Axio LE.
My effects will mostly be limited to slow motion, color correction, titles, & blurring background shots, Panning & scanning stills, zooming shots in to mix standard def 4:3 material with 16:9, and mixing 1080P, HDV 1080i and standard NTSC all in the same timeline. Will Axio offer much improvement?
