Hey, i have a thread going on another forum but nobody has replied yet. Basically im trying to decide between the
BlackmagicDesign Intensity Pro and the
AverTV HD DVR They both look good but the aver is cheaper. One of the main things i wanted to make sure of is that the loop through on the intensity pro does not cause any lag. If it can operate without any lag on the loop then it saves me buying an hdmi splitter and the possibility of losing picture quality. What i also want to know is how easy it is to record the xbox360 with both of the above devices. I have a rough idea of how it works with the aver but with intensity pro i am not sure. If i use the intensity pro will i be able to record via hdmi or not because of the content protection?
The other thing i wanted to ask about was the system specs for running one of these cards. MY GPU and CPU should be plenty strong enough, GTS 450 and Phenom II Quad respectively. Im on 64bit and carrying 6gb ram which should be plenty. The one thing that i am worried about is my hard drive not being able to keep up with the card. Some people i have spoken to say you cant run one of these without installing a raid array. Is this true?
Thanks in advance
Jack
