Hi,
Working on a studio build for a client (I know I'm an editor by trade, but sometimes the opportunities come up). We have a 3 camera studio with switcher and mixer, all down to one HD-SDI cable.
I need to get that signal into an iMac they will use to edit with.
I was going to get the Blackmagic UltraStudio SDI, but it's now looking like September before it ships, and that'll never work.
I was looking at the Blackmagic Hyperdeck Shuttle - same boat.
Now looking at the Aja IO Express. I know the Blackmagic stuff comes with a utility to record direct to the hard drive (circumvent FCP), but I can't find anything saying the IO Express does - and other than FCP (which will now be FCP X, and doesn't seem to capture SDI in a friendly way?), I need a way to get this to disk.
Help?
