There are several available from Miro, Fast, Qlogic and others. They
range in price from about $250 - $5000, depending on quality and other
features. Recent boards have very high quality in the $300-$450 price
range. Miro comes with Premiere, and allows you do do almost anything you
want with the video.

These are separate boards; not likely, but always wise to check first.
