3rd party support review

[Dwaine Maggart]

Resolve does not currently support the Kona card.

The new Mac Resolve Config guide on the Blackmagic Design web site will give you information on supported hardware under version 8. The Cubix Desktop 4 is a tested solution.

Hey,
Yeah I knew the Kona wasn’t compatible, guess I didnt word that well.

I was wondering if running a DeckLink card and the graphics cards, in the Cubix, would work if there was still actually a Kona card installed in the MacPro tower?
Thanks

I’ve seen it done before.

No, that’s what this thread is about. Hopefully this outboard box fixes this issue, and by the sounds of it it does.

Some quick math though, depending on what graphics cards you buy, you’re looking at spending around $4500-$6000 (at least in the configuration we’re looking at) to run a $1000 piece of software, so you’ve got to decide if it’s worth it

the math is not too bad actually
a few grading jobs and it will pay back for itself pretty quickly however.
Exactly how will it fix the resolve /kona incompatibility issue ?

i read the page and seems like it’s a great expansion solution. maybe i can stick 4 Quadro 4000’s in there and be flying through stuff but how does it fix the kona issue .

please forgive me if im just plain stupid

I´d rather buy a second Mac Pro, actually.
