What are all of the ways to capture to Pro RES 422 with a Mac Laptop?

[Nik Manning]

Anyone know any other/cheaper way to capture to PRO RES 422 with a Laptop other than a AJA ioHD? Fine peice of hardware but I might as well get a Mac Pro with a Capture Card. I know AJA and Black Magic Design updated there cards so I am just wondering?

Hi Nik

Wondering the same thing. I've thought about a magma expansion chassis for my KonaLH card and then coming component out of the HVX200. Probably need to use the firewire 800 for something like the 2 drive caldigit raid since the expansion slot on the laptop will house the magma. Not sure if there is enough bus speed or processor speed in the MBP dual for any of this to work though.
I wonder if AJA has ever had anyone test something like this?
Here's a link for the Magma 1 slot chassis:
