HD editing at home
We have all seen the new HD-ready TV’s and lately the new HDV camcorders coming to market. Prices is also lining up so that normal consumers can buy them without having porridge for dinner the next year. All of this is of course good news, but for people like me that is used to our good old DV camcorder with the possibility to edit all our video on the home pc there has been this little worry about how to edit all this new HDV material.
Now Blackmagic Design has come up with a new PCI Express card supported on both Mac OS X and Windows XP. Where editing software like Final Cut Pro and Adobe Premiere Pro is supported. This should help most of us to make the jump to HD in our home studio.
The Insanity card have two HDMI ports (one in and the other one out). And the best of all the suggested reseller price is only USD 249,- Almost as there should be some snag in there some way, but lets hope everything is as good as it looks. As you already may have guessed you need a pretty powerful PC to edit HD, but that comes without saying.
