Quicktime Output NOT using Firewire

Post by RobKral »

Hi,

Recently on the motu-mac email list there's been a topic about using Firewire Movie output in DP (using Canopus, Cameras etc), where you have to set offsets and so on.

On my old G4, I used to use an Aurora card and movies were automatically output to a TV screen, no settings needed to be made.

Can this type of thing still be done or is Firewire the ONLY option besides using dual computer monitor real estate? (I know several ways that folks are working through motu-mac, canopus, cameras, dual and tripple monitors etc, but this is a specific question about can the "old way" still happen...am I missing something?)

Another way of asking is: is anyone using a card like Aurora Igniter X anymore???

(DP 4.6, DP 5, Mac G5 2.5 dual, OS 10.4.8)
