Re: latest solutions to monitor out for Mac -- NOW OT: DaVinci Resolve

If I were you, I'd get the Decklink Extreme 3D for the MacPRo, and the AJA IO Express for the laptop.

Thank you Shane,

Just to be clear the decklink should be paired with a second graphics card like the quadro fx 4800 (I have one available I know there are others) ?

The AJA I/O express could be used for monitoring on a second macpro if I have the HBA for it? It won't be able to use davinci on the second system but will be able to use an analog monitor. Or if I am not using the second pro for resolve is there a fairly inexpensive pci card that will do the trick?
