Output Card Recommendation?

[mdreuben]

Now that I've been working in FCP and Color and have considerably more control over what we are producing, I would like to utilize the Panasonic BT-LH1700W monitor that we use in shooting as a monitor when making the final color corrections.

My current computer is a Dual 2.5 mhz G5. Can anyone recommend a card for output to the monitor?

Thanks!

Kona LHe and Kona 3 are the ones we use w/ the Panasonic line. Both work quite well for us. You could also go with the Blackmagic solutions. The Kona 3 I think can do something on the fly that BMD can't (but its been so long since I looked at those specs BMD could very well now have a card that can).

cheers.

The Kona 3 can upconvert SD to HD, and cross convert 720p to 1080p. It is the only card that can do that, AFAIK.
