Decklink HD Extreme vs Kona LHe
by Shaun Adams on Jul 24, 2008 at 2:25:37 am

I am looking at purchasing a new setup for making home videos, wedding videos and hopefully one day a music video.

My current set-up are consumer Canon HV30 and Canon Optura cameras and a MacBook Pro. I am looking at buying a Mac Pro 3.0 with either 4 or 8 GB RAM, Blackmagic Decklink HD Extreme or the Kona LHe plus mini-converter for HDMI input, a Sony XDcam EX-3 and a JVC DT-V20L1U or DT-V17L2DU for color grading.

From reading the forums, it seems like the Kona is a favorite with Final Cut Pro users. Is the Kona LHe plus mini-converter that much better than the Decklink HD Extreme ($1000 more) ?

I would be using Final Cut Studio 2 (FCP 6 and Color) Apple ProRes codec and output mainly to DVD.

Any advise would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you.

Shaun
