Default Replacement for Blackmagic HD Extreme card

My Blackmagic HD extreme is dead. What is a good replacement with try sync reference in? I only have one PCI slot available once I remove the Blackmagic

Thanks

sorry George if you thought I was being short, I was out and about on my phone and had a deadline to get my son off to a scout expedition.

If you have thunderbolt - get the IOXT (which is a Kona in a thunderbolt box), if not then the KonaLHi (I think the more affordable Kona LHe plus is SDI output only).

Much better performance and accuracy than any BM solution - and the drivers just work. You can just update drivers when they come out, and not have all the disasters of life in the Blackmagic Lane

Personally, I'm looking forward to Apple's new Thunder Pants connection. :)

No worries you were not being short. No thunderbolt. PCIe and USB 3

I use an LHi.
Very reliable and great drivers from Aja.
They're a bit out of date for video editors, which means we can pick them up
pretty cheaply on Ebay.
Make sure you get the breakout cable or the rack mount too, or you won't be able to gen-lock.

I also have the LHI. Works really well. I highly recommend it.

And if you are brave enough and have an air-conditioning in your room you can remove the fan from the board.
I use it without the fan for more than 3 years now and its totally quite
