Well I am in the OR right now and I will give you my digits. The camera on the scope is a Sony exwaveHAD 3ccd c-mount. Attatched to that is a very expensive coax cable that runs to a video box by sony. Model DXC-C33.
From there I have a composite out that runs the video to the wall so the video is projected through 6 TV's. I am using the s-video out (on the back of the sony box) to run it to the back of my computer.
On the back of that box I also have a "DV" (firewire) out, RGB/SYNC, EXT SYNC HD, and VD/SYNC. If it helps here is a link to the new camera system I am looking to get.

It is the HDL-20D model. There it lists all of the outputs and what not for that machine.
After capture I archive the footage until the doctor wants it for a presentation, dvd, online video, or whatever. I guess what I need to know is how can I get a macbook pro in there to capture the video or what DVCPRO deck should I look into for capture.
My only concern with the Macbook Pro is that this computer will have to be powerful enough for not just capture and edit of HD but it will also be my workstation for 3d animation of medical models. Having said that it might be best to get a mac pro tower and the DVCPRO deck so I have the power needed.
Any thoughts? Thank you again for your help.
