we are compiling a kit list for our new HD system, and wondered if anyone is using a different video system to the Avid XL option, which seems rather costly, and a bit of overkill for our needs.

The system will be used mainly for foley recording, and so will need to output a Pal signal to two screens - one in the booth and one for the control room.

Or would i be okay running just a quicktime movie and duplicating the control room monitor on another screen in the booth? (i use this method at the moment on my digital Performer setup and it seems to work although the QT movie size is not huge!)

i'd appreciate your thoughts, as we don't have a bottomless money pit!
