  Technical ? Would upgrading my Nvidia card allow me to play uncompressed 10 bit footage on my machine. (Specs below)

  Posted by Steve Mac kenzie on May 3, 2012 at 7:17 pm

  The post house sent me footage ingested in AJA 10 bit uncompressed from a Teleciny in ’93. 3;2 pulldown, interlaced, 525 line. In properties the Data rate is 27.2 mb a second. I spoke to the builder of my system and they recommended upgrading to a Nvidia 4000 from my current NVIDIA Quadro FX1700 since I am having issues with seeing the titles jumping and some jagged edges on shots with angles. Before I pull the trigger on this I was hoping someone that cuts could chime in. I am currently using Premiere Pro CS5. I also have an Avid on my System as a back up and the footage is very soft and unusable on it as well. The specs for the system are below. Thank you for the assistance!

  you didn’t mention if it was SD or HD.

  SD in a single layer should play fine.

  though with your raid HD should work too.

  If you want to leverage the most out of a Quadro 4000 you really need
  to upgrade to CS 6.

  It will work in CS 5.5 but better in CS 6.

  In either case a Quadro 4000 is a good investment for any post company
  running Cs.

  It is SD. My other question is that I can not afford the upgrade yet. Will it make the new card a moot point if I am still using CS5?

  Thank you for your input!

  Here is a link that tells you what a CUDA card like the Quadro 4000 does for Premiere Pro.
