Aurora IgniterX: Uncompressed? I'm Impressed
$1999 card gives your Mac uncompressed editing capabilities

Aurora's IgniterX is a specialized Mac-based tool that allows you to input S-Video and composite sources into your computer, and once there, lets you edit and add effects to that video in all its uncompressed glory. It does all this in 8-bit or even 10-bit color space. It's a versatile card that lets you work with video using Apple's Final Cut Pro 4 on Mac OS X, with some important features actually functioning in real time. We found it to be powerful, but its uncompressed capabilities are not for everybody, so be sure not to spring for it unless you're sure it can help you. Here's our review.

And so, dear reader, I write my report on the Siggraph 2003 convention to you from beyond the grave, for the pressure was just too much to bear.
