howinson said:which card did you use to run the reference monitors ?
BM ? Kona ?
do u do much offline/online edits since you're working with 'HD'.
Processing is slow editing HD content using FCP.

w_parietti22 said:How do you like the Encounters??? Have you ever compared them to the Creatures or the SoundSticks?
CoMpX said:I think they are slightly better as far as clarity goes than the Soundsticks and they are much better as far as bass goes than the Creatures. I absolutely love these speakers and they can really shake the walls. G-R-E-A-T sound.

CoMpX said:I no, but there's not room!. Besides I like the way it looks there. I think it sounds fine. And plus it gives easy access to the power button.
rickvanr said:Well as long as the bass doesn't cause a lot of vibration I guess you'd be alright.
CoMpX said:Do you think vibrations from the woofer could damage the Mac mini or external HD over time?

hotwire132002 said:I use a BlackMagic Decklink HD, Single link card - it cost me $980.
I do all my editing online -- I find the G5 to be plenty fast to do HD editing online, though there's a clear difference in speed when render HD vs. SD.
And rickvanr--the widescreen TV at the right side of the picture is a Sanyo cheapie from Wal-Mart. The HD set on the desk is a Sony PVM-14M8U.

I will soon have, about a week, a power book G5 dual 2ghz, dual dell 19" ultrasharp monitors, memory at 1g, hardrive at 250g, upgraded graphics card, and a shelf stereo system hooked up to it, should work out ok
howinson said:I see, cool stuff you have there.
Probably BM card aid your processing power.
Well, apple just crippled my mac without adding any PCIx/express into my powermac G5 2.0 june.
Guess i've to stick with low processing and online edits, which is slow.
Anyway, technology gets faster and 1 -2 years down the road, macs will get tougher(maybe more vulnerable too) . I dunnoe .
How's the Sony reference monitor ? Does it output HD 1080 ?
Btw, are you gonna invest a HVX ? it's a better camera afterall than HDV which is compress mpeg2.
Later ..

maestro55 said:Very good, my main Linux box is hooked up to a 17inch Samsung Flat CRT, I think it is the best monitor I have ever been able to own. I would like ot get a nice 19inch LCD, but that is out of my price range, I think I will wait until I can get another Mac desktop before I invest in a new monitor.

Woops, I forgot to say that the 17" Samsung IS an LCD. It's pretty nice. No dead pixels, crisp picture, nice form factor...very cheap too...around $220 after rebate from MacConnection.
