Re: Color 1.5.1 first impression

Peter,

Thanks for sharing your laptop CC'ing setup. Technology is changing so fast that it's hard to keep up sometimes. Not too long ago people running 'big iron' SGI rigs were scoffing at the idea of doing professional compositing on a off-the-shelf desktop computer. I am somewhat surprised though that some Final Cut users, who as a group have been looked down upon so often for not using a 'real' editing system or a 'real' color grading system, aren't more open to alternative workflow ideas.

I'm not an engineer either, but I don't think the way the MXO2 LE gets the video signal from the laptop is really any different than how AJA or Blackmagic get their video signals from a desktop (the MXO2 LE can also be attached to a desktop via a PCIe card FWIW). As I understand it the ExpressCard connects directly to the laptop's PCIe bus just like PCIe cards from AJA or Blackmagic connect directly to the PCIe bus on a tower.
