Hi,
Kind of a weird question but I'm thinking of putting a Kona 2 in the same machine that already has my decklink extreme. Will there be any driver conflicts? I love my decklibnk extreme for analogue capture and don't want to give it up to a different machine.
Thanks,

Hi Jeremiah,
There is a good chance that the two cards will conflict as they attempt to carry out the same tasks at the same time. For example, both cards have an extended desktop and I can imagine a clash between both cards wanting to extend the desktop at the same time.
Traditionally there have been problems simultaneously running cards from different manufacturers in the same machine and I have no reason to believe that these problems will have gone away.
Having said that, there is nothing to stop you trying both and, if it doesn't work out, just remove one or other card and run the associated uninstaller.

Hi, Luke. Does the same hold true for cards installed who aren't being used at the same time? I'm looking into a playbox system and I'm told the playout isn't that stable for decklink cards (some sort of audio sync issue) so I'm planning on getting a supermicro X5DA8 MB with Stradis SDM-290 or HD card and a decklink hd card (any card that will do both HD and SD mpeg-2).
