FYI – TESTED!!! IO FCP 4.5 – G5 Dual 2.7GHZ – OS 10.4 !!!!
Ok, so apple released the dual 2.7 GHZ G5 macs today, and I was first in line to buy one at the stonestown apple store. I came home and have been testing for six hours.
The set up:
G5 Dual 2.7GHZ
MAC OS 10.4.0 Tiger
512MB Ram (I have orderd 4GB)
512GB SATA internal drive (have not conected the raid yet.)
AJA io (full) Drivers 1.3.1 (I have not tested the beta control pannel yet)Sorce Deck: Sony J-30
Formats: Dbeat and Beta SPCaptured at: D25, D50, UC8bit, and UC10bit
All 30min docs, all without drop frames, all works great.Hopped into Ae6.5, and video out works great (boy is this mac fast, makes AE look like motion).
I don’t know what AJA thinks is wrong but everything worked.
Now onto the UC10bit stress tests. I hooked up my Medea RTRS 320 to my UL4D ATTO card.
Six UC10bit (tiled 3 top 3 bottom) Stream, no drop frame warnings.
Started to add Color corection to the clips. First two and the “Safe- High” setting was still green.
I added CC to 3 and the bar truned red. Droped down to “unlimited -high” and had an orange bar, but no drop frames.
Added 2 more CCs (up to 6 clips, 5 with cc) and 7 minutes into the program I hit my first drop frame.DV (D25) tests: D25 playing out the io. 5 streams (tiled) three with CC, no drop frames.
And this is all on 512MB or ram.Doing more tests, see this link for more info.

Adam, if you don’t mind, I have an OT question. Would you please check in system profiler which model and brand the DVD burner is? I am about to buy a DL burner for my G5 and I would like it to be natively supported by Tiger, so knowing which one Apple is using would be very helpful. Many thanks!

Congrats on the new machine Adam! I’m jealous you got it so fast.

Wow, that’s good news that everything is working fine so far for you. Its completely opposite of what multiple sources told me at the AJA booth during NAB. Basically, they all said the current Io was not compatible with Tiger and that we shouldn’t update the OS until the new Io drivers are released (sometime in May). I was also told the Io would need the new drivers for FCP 5. I should have followed up and inquired about what specific problems they were having when using current Io with Tiger and FCP 5.
Let us know if you run into any problems.
Tony!

So, perhaps the Io is compatible with Tiger… maybe it’s not compatible with FCP 5 until you have the new drivers? A clarification might be nice…
