Finally Need a Camera Card, have questions

[MattMills]

Hello everyone, I am finally in need of a Camera input on a gig and want to make sure i get the right card the first time. Is the Phoenix card still the way to go? And, where would be the best place to buy them? Here is the info on my systems, thanks in advance for any help. Matt

Mac Pro 1,1
Dual Core Xeno 2.66

Running Snow Leopard
Using Catalyst 364

been running the same system (mac os x 1,.6.8) with a phoenix PHX-D20HDSDI, just use only 1 input for full HD and with the latest drivers, I think you can use 2x 720p aswell, but never tested it on that system, there's some minimal delay which you can see in close-ups but it all depends on what you're trying to do, buy from simon or nev, a faster server will give you more margin though, try testing it with your setup

buying the 2 inputs card will be more economical if you would need those in the future

have no experience with other cards except LFG's, works aswell
