  What minimun Imac requirements do I need?

  Posted by Paco Bech on September 5, 2017 at 11:49 am

  Hello, I need to buy an Imac, second hand. Right now I have an old model from 2008, I am not aware of recent hardware improvements etc.

  I need to edit Panasonic GH2 and Black Magic PC 4k material, what are the minimun Imac requirements I should look for?

  Thanks a lot

  Just the bigger the better in the name of time. Meanwhile, artists to this day create fine art with a chile and stone.

  What a great response, I am amazed by your sense of humor and intelligence. You should work with Woody Allen.

  To expand on what Grinner said, it doesn’t have to be brand new, though that’s of course ideal. A two-year-old one should still be okay for 4K, as long as the RAM has been maxed-out. I don’t know if the retina displays on the 2016’s or 2017’s are 4K or not, so that might require a 4k external monitor thru the BMD box. For BMD compatibility questions, BMD no doubt has a web page with that info.
