Re: CineWave or AJA I/O ?

[Richard B] "1. Real-Time preview for combustion (or shake) during the setup for compositin"

BMD DeckLink or AJA Kona are the best for this type of function.

[Richard B] "2. NATIVE YUV 10 Bit Video Codec"

Cinewave can capture 10-bit using the Apple codec, but it's not much help if you're in an 8-bit timeline. DeckLink and AJA (Kona or iO) are best suited for this as they are native 10-bit.

[Richard B] "3. Real-Time preview for NLE (for/with Final Cut Pro) "

Any of the FCP systems will do this.

[Richard B] "4. 2 Channels of Real-Time Video Editing "

All the FCP systems will perform dual-stream functionality. With RT Extreme, you can get 7 streams with an Xraid and a DP2 G5.

[Richard B] "5. Mixing of Audio with external controller (like the Yamaha O1V96 or O2R96)"

For now you'll need to stripe an FCP audio track with timecode so the Yamaha can sync to it. For the life of me, I don't know why FCP still, to this date, doesn't output timecode/LTC where even the simple little QuickTime Movie Player can. Ug.

If you need HD in future, then Cinewave or DeckLink HD are your best choices.

Tschüss!
