Re: DA88 Audio capture with Blackmagic HD Extreme

Hi Baz

Sorry to be a bit dumb but can you break it down for me. As far as I can see what you are saying is it IS possible to use the HD Extreme card to capture the audio from the DA88 (all at once) but I'll need some more bits to do it. I can currently get a very cheap very low use DA88 on eBay (assuming I win it :-) so that's the route I guess I will take (we are only going to use it occasionally but the way I always look at these things is if it's going to cost me more to send it to a facilities house than it is to purchase all the bits I need then next time I need it I'm in profit as it were...)

Thing is I'm not an audio engineer - I'm a DVD author and graphic designer so any help gratefully received

From what you are saying I'll need an IF-AE8 plus TDIF cable (I'll google these so I know what you are speaking of). So how do I then hook it up to the Blackmagic HD Extreme? What inputs? Capture how? in FCP? Soundtrack Pro?

Are these extras expensive

Thanks again (sorry if i then ask more questions once you respond :-)
