Multigbridge Extreme & Premiere Pro experience
After much researh, I finally managed to get this thing working. Not a BM problem, but as a word of caution, this thing does not run on the majority of AMD Dual Core motherboards without a lot of grief. Mine is currently running on Asus A8N-E motherboard. I do not reccomend this motherboard and will have it running on a different board sometime in the next few weeks. The only way I was able to get it running at all on this board was to remove my PCIe graphics card and run an old PCI bus graphics card. Not the greatest solution.
Black Magic has very little information on their website regarding MBe for PC so configuring this is not for the casual builder. So far the 5.3 drivers, and Premiere 1.5.1 are happy, and seem fairly stable. Doing anything in HD mode though is like working in PPro native. I can only experiment with text, basic premiere filters and graphics, as I have nothing aquired in this format. Everything must be rendered, so workflow is very slow. Especially 1080p 24f. (A 5 minute project with text gausian blur and some 2K x 2K graphics took 52 minutes to render.) Makes editing like working in AE. Its ok if you don’t have clients waiting, and you really neede to get the work done. I think it looks to be a great product. I do not have PPro 2.0 yet though so can’t say much there. On a different note, A 4 drive SATA raid 0 (native controller) benchmarked at 239 mbs. not quite enough to play this stuff out with out dropping occasional frames. I am curious as to how this compares to some of the FCP systems out there, and compared to a Decklink Pro HD 444, PPro, and a turnkey system. -
