Macbook Pro

I didn’t say that it is not working, but it is a bit on the slow side 🙂

Do you have worked in 1080sf24 on an 8 core MacPro?

If yes I would be interested how you would rate the speed gains for general RT work.

Ah yes and I have a Sata raid which Aja system test rates at about 90-100 MB. Is yours faster? And if so, do you reckon that makes a bigger difference then a faster CPU?

Thanks for your time!

Cheers
Carsten

[Anthony C] “I know on the AJA web site they recommend that you have a MBP Core2 Duo. I have the first generation 17′ 2.16 Intel Core Duo ” you laptop is a Dual Core it is the bare minimum to work with the IoHD. “

anthony ” what part of bare min” did not come across

working on a laptop barely there means that while it might work for some tasks- somethings might not and the proportion of things that will not work for you goes up with the level of work you are trying to do.

Inside look at the IoHD

It’s pretty simple, really. AJA has posted specs for a reason. If you decide to try and use your laptop with the ioHD, please do not get mad at AJA for making a product that doesn’t work. I would go with their recommended specs. I have talked to a few people that have the first gen machine and they can get 720 to work, but not 1080. And even then, 720 is iffy. Get yourself a new computer is the best advice that I personally can give you.

Thanks All,

Yes I talked to AJA. Jerry at AJA said that my laptop would work as long as use Pro Res. I was just making sure from users of the IO HD.
