SDI interface for Mac to connect to SE-800DV

I have three MacBook Pros (all with HDMI out) and a MacPro desktop (two HDMIs). I also own a DataVideo SE-800DV video switcher which allows you to connect a PC to it to overlay graphics for titling, animation, etc.

Does anyone have any experience putting a MBP/MacPro together with an SE-800DV for this purpose?

Can anyone recommend an SDI interface for the Mac...an inexpensive but effective one preferably!? 🙂 (And preferably something external that I can use with one of the MBPs.)

Thanks for any help.

I actually don't know. I had been looking for options but didn't find many. Then I was thinking about using Keynote -- you can access layouts by page number and include animated portions with text. Note sure if that makes sense but would love any other suggestions.

I am confused about the HDMI part. No Apple computer comes with HDMI. What are you talking about?
