[Paul Burgess] "If I use the MXO then I will lose one of the 30 inch displays because basically the MXO takes the DVI in and out leaving nowhere to plug in my second 30 inch."

You have two? Wow. Yeah, you'd lose one of them, as the MXO does not work with the 30" displays. They are dual link DVI, and the MXO is single link only. Typically what you'd do in a two monitor environment is have the MXO connected to one of the monitors. It allows for play thru of the monitor signal, and will switch to broadcast monitoring when you press Apple-F12 (View>External>All Frames).

To me this is fine, as I would use the two displays to perform my creative cutting, then when it came time to color correct, switch the MXO on and use one monitor to color correct and one to look at my image.

But yes, with the MXO you cannot have two computer monitors and one broadcast monitor. You can try the DualHead2Go from Matrox, to split one port to two monitors. But I have had terrible luck trying to get that to work.
