Looking for Capture Card

[Luis08753]

I recently bought the EDIUS 4.5 application software (Only) and I'm looking to get a capture card that is compatible with this software. Please advise.

Thanks,
Luis

Edius NX is the lowest priced, and it comes with Edius already. Great piece of hardware.

Check www.canopus.com

You can use DVStorm2, but you will have issues because you need to find a compatible motherboard. NX Express is PCIExpress, so it's easier for it to work with newer computers...plus the Storm2 is discontinued (you can grab a used one), and it might not work in v5 of Edius and it's DV only, no HD support.

Dave,

I don't think that requestor is asking for Canopus h/w :-). He just brought the EDIUS application only - so, my guess will be just any OHIC compatible card (Firewire host) will be good enough for him.

NX has two flavors - one is the Express bus version, the other is PCI-X (64 bits slot). Both works - I am using the PCI-X version ... ZERO problems.

Why not just get a firewire card?

Assuming you already have a Firewire port on your system and you are looking for an analog input/output option, you may want to look into the ADVC110.

ADVC110 is an external analog to digital converter. It's inexpensive and allows playback preview on an external video monitor when playing the timeline of a DV project.


If you need realtime HD output, take a look at the products Dave mentioned.
