I had been looking at the Matrox RT.X2 - but it is like £1000 for capturing and faster editing of HDV. It would be nice to see on a screen what your movie is looking like as you edit - so how about this?

Well I've got a 22" Samsung screen with HDMI input - so this looks like a useful tool ...

If it does as it says on the box ...

Playback
As a quick test to make sure everything is connected correctly, use the Premiere Pro test media (bars
and tone). Copy a test clip, which matches the format of your project e.g. NTSC 8 bit. Take your
media from within your Premiere Pro project and drop it into the timeline. You should now see the
image on both your computer desktop and your Intensity HDMI output. If you can’t see any video
on your Intensity output, check the HDMI connections again.
Note: Your HDMI display needs to be powered on before starting your PC. If necessary, restart your
PC to ensure Intensity detects the display during startup.

this is a real steal at the price !!

you ordered it yet Billy
