Hi Guys,

I'm looking at either purchasing the Matrox RT100 or Canopus DVX video editing card, but I haven't found a review comparing both these cards.

Anyone know which would be a good card to have for real time editing with my DVX100a and Premiere Pro.

cheers

I would *not* buy the Matrox card if you want to edit other than NTSC 30i or PAL 50i footage. I have the RTX100 and it's just a great system for editing 30i footage. But I'm screwed if I want to edit the 24pa from my DVX.
And there's not going to be support anytime for 24. They sell another more expensive system, the Axio, for editing 24p.
 
Thanks for that I do want to edit in 24p. Any suggestion for a card that would do the job?
 
I haven't used any others besides the RTX100.

Btw - With the speed of desktops, video cards, and software (for example PPro 1.5 & 2) now it's getting to the point where you can do a lot of real-time rendering without a dedicated card. If you don't already have a fast system then I recommend testing one along with the editing package you use. See how well it works and how fast it renders. Then compare the cost of upgrading to a new system as compared to buying a card and adding to your existing system.
