R3D performance on Mac Pro – please post your results
Hi,
I’m testing a Davinci system based on a 2009 Mac Pro (2.26, 8GB RAM, GTX285+GT120).
As far as I understand, r3d decoding only uses your CPU (or the Red Rocket card if you have some).I wasn’t able to get test footages online ( I’d need 4K RedOne, 4.5K MX, 5K Epic, in various aspect ratios ), so could I please ask, if you have some experience with r3d performance, post your results? ( including MacPro model, and processor type, file type, decoding resolution, RedRocket used or not, and fps)
I’d also be grateful, is someone could link me to some downloadable r3d files.
Thank you!

The RedUser forum is your source of information for all this.
They also have tons of files.
Before the Epic you could get almost realtime playback on an older Mac like your in half res.
With the new codec expect not more than 18 fps.
I normally work in quarter res for playback and half for grading..Full is only useful for render times.A slice of color…
