I am a videographer who mostly creates content for the web. I have an upcoming project for local broadcast and would like to get a calibrated video monitor for editing. Can anyone advise on a monitor and other hardware for someone on a budget. Matrox? Ideally it would be a flat screen monitor that isnt too big.
I shoot DVCPRO HD (hpx170) to p2 cards, then log and transfer to FCP 6. I keep my media on a 4TB esata enclosure. I have a G5 dual 2.7 mac powerPC and will probably upgrade to a new intel tower when they come out in June. Presently I don't have the need to capture uncompressed HD but wouldn't mind having the ability to do so if possible. The HPX170 doesnt have an hdmi out, so I don't think I could do so with a matrox. Is it possible to get uncompressed HD out of the HPX thru HD/SDI into a mac g5 and fcp6? or an intel macbook pro?
thanks for any help
