Stand alone converters are around 300$/€ to 550$/€. Spending that much 
money there are some other proprietary solutions for video and audio 
sync. The problem with interfaces might be, that they only come with Mac 
and Win drivers, but for the same price as such stand alone converters 
they have got some additional features. I wouldn't recommend to use 
Linux with such expensive converters. Spending that much money there are 
better ways for setting up a video and audio machine by using a 
proprietary OS, resp. someone could ask the vendor to write a Linux 
driver too, but I don't think they will do it.
