what do i need to monitor video out
 

looking for an output card so i can see my final work an an external SD & HD monitor,that works with cineform.

i don't mean directly at the same time, just so i can use an SD montior untill i get the money for an HD monitor.



what are my options?

The AJA Xena line is the only real option in the professional high-end (SDI). The Xena HS, LH, and LHe all work with Prospect.

You could get a Black Magic Intensity card.....

and for a monitor, Dell has a new 24 incher out now that looks very nice with many different input/output connections....

Its the 24 inch ultra sharp version...

Ray,
Am I not right in thinking that the BM cards don't work with Cineform - unless the situation has changed very recently? As far as I am aware, the (v. expensive) AJA cards are the only option, apart from using something like an nVidia or Marox display card, neither of which has worked satisfactorily for me.

Intensity Card is not yet supported for realtime preview in CineformRT mode in Premiere. (You can capture in HDLink with it though, I am told)
