Edius I/O cards for Edius X

[dpalomaki]

I guess for me it boils down to:

For SD capture from s-video and composite sources only, (ignoring SDI capture and resolutions beyond HD) is there any image quality advantage in the Analog-to-SDI and and Decklink Mini Recorder option over the (not 4K) Intensity Pro? (Well, I guess the IP does have analog output option as well.)

(I haven't considered it yet, but perhaps duplex operartion with backgroud recording while editing/previewing to the monitor?)

there is a huge advantage doing it my way, because the BM analog to SDI mini converter produces accurate blacks and whites whereas the Intensity Pro clips the blacks during capture and these lost blacks (dark areas) can't be recovered

Thanks,
Is the clipped black unique to PAL, or an issue with 7.5 IRE NTSC as well?
(I know the IP 4K has problematic SD blacks.)

as far as I know the issue happens in Pal and NTSC and can't be fixed and will never be fixed because these cards will be phased out, I spoke to the horse's mouth

Does Edius X support the BMD Mini Recorder 4K. or does one need to use another capture program such as BM's Media Express softeare? (I note thqt Edius is listed for Mini-Monitor 4K but not for Mini-Recorder.4k)

I am using the Mini Recorder 4k and the Mini Monitor 4k, both work fin in X and in 9
