Hi,
The problem you're seeing sounds like it might be a bandwidth issue. Unlike 2007 Mac Pro and onward, the original 2006 model Mac Pro's PCIe slots had to be manually configured.
We always suggest installing a DeckLink card into slot 4 of a Mac Pro. Once you have done this, to configure the PCIe slots you will need to go to System->Library->CoreServices->Expansion Slot Utility. This should give you several options. You want to make sure that slot 4 has the most bandwidth possible.
I think this should solve the problem, but if not I would suggest giving support a call, and they should be able to help you out further. You can find the support numbers here.
