Yes, but maybe Apple will announce new displays... like maybe in 10 minutes :greedy:

$3500 is for the AJA IO-HD

**Alex Boothby** · 04-15-2007, 12:03 PM

I think $3500 is for the "IO/HD". New FCP is $999. I think.

Edit - Anders beat me!

No, no... that's the new IO-HD AJA hardware box for converting to and fro their new ProRez codec... not the cost of FCP upgrade.

The $3500 is the price of the IO-HD module. They haven't announced pricing for Final Cut yet -- they're still going over all the applications.

I think $3500 is the cost of the external hardware box, the I/O HD. I think Final Cut Studio 2 still costs the same... we'll see.
EDIT - Wow, you all are fast!

**LighthouseMEdia** · 04-15-2007, 12:03 PM

I read $3495 as the cost for the AJA HD i/o hardware solution.
