What are you guys using to monitor HD footage from the timeline in PPro CS3? Anyone editing MXF files? how are you monitoring? what are the options and what seems to be the best way to go?

I was looking at some options.... anyone have any feedback on results of using the following?

Decklink Intensity Pro?
Decklink HD Extreme?
Aja Xena Series?
Matrox RT.X2?

how about the higher end:

Motu V3HD?

Thanks
 
I am geting ready to make the jump to HD myself. We all have to within a year.

I hope I do not need hardware for HD. I know HDV will not let you loop through the Camera but I hope the Panasonic HD cameras will work like DV-25 (camera loop though to the NTSC HD monitor).

we use a Three montiors and just use the software montioring the premerie provides, so on head1 we have to 19in LCDS hooked up to a matrox dualhead2go, and on head2 a Apple cinema display. You then just tell prem to use the second display as the monitor
 
one computer with matrox rtx2 and another with a matrox parhelia - both do a great job monitoring p2 footage. If you do any HDV work I'd say definitely go for the rtx2. If not and you dont need the analogue inputs or anything I'd just go with the parehelia apve.
 
The APVe has Component out (plus composite and s-video), the 256 does not have component. If your monitor HD you pretty much have to have component. You can also input composite and s-video with the APVe but I think you need an optional cable... never looked into it.
