Developing a DI unit and post production workflow

For colour correction I may go with the HP dreamcolor LP2480zx.

Note that this is not a great choice when more than two people need to look at the monitor. And it's not very big. Many, many, many facilities in LA and NY are going with the 30-series or 300-series Panasonic plasmas, which can be calibrated to Rec709 (and some other color spaces) with the right measurement gear.

You're on the right track, I think. I don't cut a lot of RED stuff YET, but for the animation and graphics biz, we normally look at the software we are running first to determine the card we need, and build the workstation around the card, with the I/Os and storage we plan to use. Don't guess on the graphics card. It's at least 75% of the equasion.
