Wow, I was just doing laps in the pool and I started thinking to myself,
"Did I just make a post on the AvidL that referred to the "Kona LHe"
card AND "Blackmagic" in the same breath? I really apologize if I led
anybody astray here.
Yesterday we installed a Kona LHe card in a Mac Pro and a Decklink
Extreme PCIe card in the Z800. These are both very old cards, of
course. In fact, you have to look for "legacy" products on the
Blackmagic web site to find the Extreme PCIe. So far, we have only
tested the Decklink card so, that's the one that we can say is working
like a charm. We'll report back on our experience with the Kona card on
Monday.
