Re: Video Card for MAC when editing RED footage in FCP

[Chris Woods] "I believe I am getting the video card, just have to find the best one at a good price. I heard blackmagic is all right. Any thoughts on that card? "

Red recommends Kona Cards for a reason.

AJA's tools handle most of the processes needed in hardware- up, down and cross conversion are always done in hardware everytime. Realtime processing and scaling to SMPTE standard rasters of Redcode content in hardware. True 2K handling capabilities with realtime 1080 HD viewing. Correct (optional) handling of RED content as True P in 1080 vs handling content output as PsF.( they may have this fixed however)

All of the BMD cards still rely on a fair amount of CPU processing to handle many of the tasks on the card, and somethings like cross-conversion from 720 x1080 they cannot do without rendering.
