What HD cards will work with Edius to monitor HD timeline out?

[Alter Ego]

And the moron of the week award goes to me. I bought a Black Magic Intensity Pro card to monitor 1280x720 HDV out from the Edius timeline and After Effects..... I thought this card worked with Edius HD.... What was I thinking? Oh well the price was right.

OK what card(s) will work with Edius to monitor the HD timeline out?

BTW I need component out my HD monitor doesn't have HDMI in....

HD Storm Plus, or NX

You can still use the Photoshop and After Effects out with the Intensity Pro card. Works great!

Check your motherboard first before you make another expensive mistake. NX has two favours - PCIe and PCI-X. Make sure you buy the right interface for your motherboard.

Thanks everyone. I have PCIe. That expensive mistake I wouldn't make lol. I just went brain dead thinking the intensity card worked with Edius. I can use it for AE and PS. It does plugin to Premiere also. As a work around I can output the Edius timeline to a file, and than import it to Premiere to get a look on the monitor.

As cash flow allows I plan to go with a Grass Valley set up in the near future.

Hey Pat... Having never had one of the new HD Storm cards.... only the regular Storm card and NX cards ..... what is the difference between the new Storm HD and the NX card? I noticed that your new killer system has the Storm HD card.... what was the reason you chose that card over the NX card?

Just wondering and planning ahead for my next system..

Thanks Pat for all you do for us

The main difference is that I wanted a HDMI output. Actually I was very happy with the NX (other than some audio issues). And this may sound stupid, but I wanted the Storm HD so I could talk a little more intelligently here when people ask about it.

That's funny Pat :)

The real difference is HDMI capture but not so many people really need that with solid state cameras on the move or HDV still being consumed. If the need is there for HDMI capture then it's an easy choice, however having tried them both I can not give any reason why anybody who doesn't need HDMI capture would chose a HDStorm over an NX because with quality component cables there is no difference. The NX still has better analog SD capture than the HDStorm Plus does. The HDStorm has the HQ codec onboard but that's a non feature in reality.

If you can get the NX at a great price, I don't see any reason
not to go that route. The HD storm is a good setup if you need
HDMI capture. If you don't need capture at all, hdv or card based,
the HD Spark would be your best bet.
