Canopus ADVC-HD50

I know you probably won't like this suggestion but the best way to input DVI, HDMI, or anything else into Catalyst is to use an HD-SDI capture card. I am using a Decklink HD-SDI card until the Active Silicon HD-SDI cards are out and working well. I also have a DVI to HD-SDI converter and a VGA to SDI converter.

The Decklink card is about $1k US
The DVI to HD-SDI was about $1k US
The VGA to HD-SDI was about $600 US

There are comparable HDMI to HD-SDI converters but whatever the case, expect to spend about $2k US for them. (Probably not the news you want to hear).

I'm allways open to any sugestion. And this seems a good solution. I thought things would be more expensive using HD SDI.
Thanks for you're advice
