Extra Hardware to improve Premiere Pro

Black Magic capture cards

Black Magic produce a range of I/o cards which work with Adobe Premiere, Sony Vegas and Apple Final Cut Pro.

They are generally low cost compared to other products and just add the ins and outs on the card, rather than adding a range of new filters and enhancing performance like Matrox. However you pay a lot more for a Matrox card that has the same i/o as a Black Magic.

Matrox i/o cards

Matrox cards not only add extra i/o they can also improve the performance of Premiere Pro. They have two ranges of cards - the MX02 range and the RT.X2 & Axio.   The MX02 are the latest cards and the obvious choice for using with Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.  The RT.X2 and Axio cards were roigianlly designed for Adobe Premiere Pro CS2 and Matrox have added support for CS3 and CS4 over the years.  CS5 support for RT.X2 and AXIO is expected in October 2010 however, for CS5 the MX02 range will give more options and be cheaper!
