Even if you don't have a deck or camera connected to your computer, DeckLink Extreme PCIe makes a great high quality way to monitor your edit as you work. Equipment such as DV cameras generally have poor quality video monitoring limited to an NTSC/PAL output. With the DeckLink Extreme PCIe you can monitor high quality edits even in DV. The DeckLink Extreme PCIe card plays back DV and JPEG media as well as taking advantage of RT Extreme based Final Cut Pro HD effects. You can connect an inexpensive YUV component video monitor for quality monitoring, and without annoying FireWire latency when using only DV files.

Use the Blackmagic LiveKey application for controlling key levels, and even adjusting the opacity of keys. Blackmagic LiveKey will also automatically fade graphics on and off for specific times.
