| Looking for an analog video input PCI card that will work with 2008 Mac Pro |
Posted by: LaPorta on 2025-09-25 18:47:57
Just as described in the title. I am looking to see if there are any Mac PCI cards that will work with OS X ~10.6 with analog RGB and/or S-video input jacks that can capture/record video to a 2008 Mac Pro. Do any such cards exist? |

just use a period correct USB capture card Yeah, I could run that or a FW one, but I was just looking for something internal. |

@LaPorta I almost was going answer you then I thought "hmm but wait..2008 surely that can't still be pci can it?" and had to go recheck .. yep unless I'm wrong it seem you only have pcie slots
only thing that could come to mind now for that would be blackmagic decklink card specifically the rather early models which did still have that sort of osx support from release day |

PCI-E, yes....sorry I didn't specify properly. |

And I've never used it because I don't have the cable. I did reach out to their support who sent me a PDF with the pinout in it, so one day I may make the cable... I'll attach the file here in case you end up in a similar position. |

Gosh these things are expensive! Not sure if they have any 20-some odd year old ones laying around! |

I was about to say that there is one full with cable to sell in France but I see you are located in USA ... shipping to you will be really difficult nowadays 🙁

aye @zefrenchtoon is right, mid-september I saw a lot of reddit topics about many countries everywhere pausing any further shipping and/or ramping up all fee methods across the board in deference to naturally an one clueless bigwig a somewhere messing up simple things to start with
and @LaPorta you might still be able to luck out on an inexpensive one eventually if you keep on looking tho? who knows (like me having the interesting luck of [at a local book-cafe place] finding a stack of 2024-published $64.99 book for only $8.99 on one of my few interesting subjects so naturally I had to buy one right away, etc) |

This is the better version of the card I have (mine does not have HDMI) and isn't very expensive. You could ask if they are willing to ship to the US: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/167515814445 (I have no affiliation with the seller) |
