    Matrox Marvel Parhelia

    So this subject has probably already been talked about.

    Is there any indication that this sort of card may be coming out ?
    Does anyone know where? when? how much?

    That would be great to trade my old g450 etv out with

        It has been stated many, many times in numerous threads, news posts on the main page, and in Matrox's forums that the G450eTV was the last of the Marvels, and that there are currently no plans to make any more "low-end" capture cards. If you want to capture with a Matrox card, you'll have to shell out for an RT card.

        So yes...that's it, end of story.

              By the time you added analog & IEEE-1394 capture plus coordinated drivers to a Parhelia board, which is what it would take to be competitive these days, you might as well buy an RT.X100. The price difference would be worth it given the realtime effects that thing can do.
