Hello all,
Does anyone know what the advantage of using a hardware card with Prospect HD is? Cineform told me that it works best with the AJA Xena. If I understand correctly, it is not necessary to use a hardware card with this plugin, so does the extra hardware simply make it run faster? Does it enable more effects? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
We are running a Dell Precision R5400 Dual-Quad Xeon with 16gigs Ram Vista 64bit

The Xena card gives you conventional video/audio input/output capabilities. You can monitor via SDI and ingest formats like HDcam.
I like my system with both CineForm and the Xena card...but if you plan on simply editing something to author to DVD or some other method of distribution other than making a master tape, Prospect works fine without it as well...
