Looking for graphics card and frame grabber for machinima

Hi,

I'm trying to sort out what video card to get for high-end machinima production. I'd like to be able to create content with very high resolution textures (so likely will need lots of video ram) and will be doing frame grabbing rather than rendering in the cpu.

Any thoughts on what would be an appropriate graphics card? I've browsed the Nvidia Quadro family of cards, and some of the Matrox frame grabbers. SDI seems like a good idea for getting frames into the grabber, but I'm not clear on where the technology is currently at.

Thanks,

Rob
