A faster processor it is. Thanks.

Thanks for all the replys. A Core 2 Duo board fits in my budget for my startup system so I’ll try that first with my setup and see how the card works and post the results.

So it’s more of a speed issue rather than a compatability issue? I would be using the Cineform codec and using the Xena for capture/monitoring/output. Not even close to the horsepower needed for uncompressed.

Thanks. I was looking for something like this and couldn’t find it. I saw all the boards listed are dual AMD/Xeons. Is anyone using a Core 2 Duo board?

Thanks.

David, I’m planning on using my current computer and swapping out the motherboard to upgrade. I’m looking at using a Core 2 Due E6600 chip, 2 gigs Ram and FX 560. The motherboards I’ve been looking at are 775 chipset ASUS, Intel, and Gigabyte. Any known issues with these? And if anyone can give specific specs on a working system that would be great.
PS, David, I’ve followed your discussions on DVXuser. They were a great help getting answers on the Cineform product. Thanks for all your time to answer what seems like hundreds of post!

The problem is resolved now, but I had to search for and delete a cinehd.dll file, uninstall Premiere, Aspect HD, and Vegas, then reinstall Vegas, Premiere 1.5, then update to Premiere 1.5.1. A lot of trouble to try out someone’s software. This doesn’t seem to be an isolated case, so I would hope that in the future Cineform at least warns the user before installing their trial software.

Let us know what you think when you get it up and running.

The card is $990? I thought I saw it listing for $1500 on The Videoguys website. Still, isn’t the Decklink HD Pro card aroung about the same cost and offer the HD-SD downconversion? Also, while Premiere doesn’t support DVCPro HD, I’ve heard of people capturing to Blackmagic’s HD codec and using that with Premiere. That’s why I was wondering if Aja had their own codec too. I’m not trying to go off on one card vs the other. It’s great having more than one option. I’m just trying to get the differences between the two so that I can see which one fits me.

I don’t know Ralph’s reasons, but I’ve been looking into a similar situation for monitoring HD content on a CRT monitor. The reason is for color correction purposes. All the info I’ve found say that LCDs don’t give you the true range of black or accurate color reproduction for color correcting video. I realize that the CRT monitors I’ve looked at (Best Buy type of stores) aren’t Broadcast montitors, but they still are CRTs have dropped to be about the same price as the LCDs. So which is the best of the two evils?
