HD Video Capture Card

[whoooaaahhhh]

I'm building a Quad Computer right now for 4:4:4:4 HD Video Editing and I need a good capture card. I'm trying to decide which one to get. These are the Ones I'm looking at thus far.

AJA - Kona 3
Blackmagic Design - DeckLink HD Pro Dual Link
Bluefish 444 - Multiple Cards
Pinnacle - Cinewave

Which would yall choose?

ROCK THE VOTE!

We have a Kona card on our G5 at work & they seem to work ok, I haven't tried HD, as we only work in SD. We also that a blackmagic on a PC. We had a few problems with that, but it was mainly because it was on a PC and at the time didnt fully support Adobe Premiere.

I was disappointed with Pinnacle as I had a DC30 years a go, & they drop Mac support from that card with osX.

The only problem we have with the Kona card is if you have the video out monitoring on both Final cut & motion, it gets a bit confused and can crash motion when switching between the two apps.
