Mac Pro??

Love it!
Had some teething issues initially with some of the lenses we had (specifically the Tokina), but we’ve been getting used to it and love it now. Love using the ProRes 10bit for greenscreen shoots, and the RAW is stunning in post.
We have the Rokinon cinema lenses, but are starting to think of buying some of the Zeiss primes – have you any of these?
How are you finding the audio?
We saw the iMac was certified for Resolve, but a PC with a similar single 2GB GPU is very limited in performance. I’m hoping the new Mac Pro has some really beefy GPU options, otherwise we might have to rethink and go for one of the new Nvidia Titan GPU’s with a PC rig.
Don’t suppose anyone has tried a BOXX workstation?

We’re still working on lenses, I heard the Rokinon lenses were a little soft, we’re looking at the Samyangs or the Zeiss. Haven’t had an audio shoot yet!
I’m really hoping that the Titan will be an option on the new Mac Pro!

Absolutely. If Adobe’s suite meets all your needs, then you’ve got options on both sides.
I still prefer the MacOS better to Windows though, so that still does figure into my decision making- and makes a straight hardware comparison not quite as black and white for me.

But think of the technical problems…
Thunderbolt carries display port but how do you run output from an external gfx card back to the thunderbolt port?
Or do you take display out of thunderbolt.

You can’t just eliminate the monitor from the equation, so that $1,500 price comparison is irrelevant. I see the HP 30″ Display as $1,250.
Other than that, I’d have to see an itemized breakdown on CPU, GPU, RAM, and all the nigglies before I take the £500 price difference as a given. Often times in these comparisons there are minor differences forgiven, like not QUITE the same processor, but close, etc… etc.
Of course, you can put in your choice of GPUs etc, which is why functionality-wise, an iMac and a PC tower aren’t exactly comparable products- that would be the MacPro
And currently, you’ll get no argument from me that the current MacPro is way overpriced for what you get.

mac pros? surely we will soon be editing on our iWatches by rubbing them on our iPads?
It only makes sense.Sorry couldn’t make it to BVE – have been all hours house chained with gig.
Any good stuff?https://vimeo.com/user1590967/videos http://www.ogallchoir.net promo producer/editor.grading/motion graphics

Until the new iMac Pro comes out with same form-factor and a single 6-8 core Xeon and Quadro M GPU.
But hey, you can at least upgrade it to 64GB of RAM!

What are you babbling about..? Crazy person!
