Resolve on a Mac + RedRocket?
Posted by Jeremy Newmark on April 15, 2010 at 12:45 amThis is a big question I have. Will Resolve on a Mac be able to take advantage of a RedRocket for enhanced performance with R3D files?
best regards,

I thought real time full deBayer would be part of the Resolve platform.

April 15, 2010 at 9:35 pmRed deBayer on the base Linux systems is not real time at max quality/max resolution mode. Co-processor chassis(s) can be added to accelerate that as needed. The Mac platform will not support adding these co-processor chassis.

April 15, 2010 at 11:12 pmMy understanding is that the Resolve application will deBayer the R3D files, as it does on the Linux platform. But until I actually have a chance to see it myself, I can’t comment on what the performance will be. On the Linux R1 platform (the entry level system), you can get real time playback at lower quality settings.

Further to Dwaine’s information, the Resolve Coprocessor cannot be connected to a Mac due to the lack of InfiniBand on the Mac platform.

How fast does your storage have to be to pull that off and does that include audio?

April 16, 2010 at 4:00 pmWe will review the Red Rocket integration but for now, consider that there are only 4 PCIe slots in the MacPro and only two extra power connectors, which we use when a GTX285 is installed.

Slot number should not be a problem i think if there is not other limitations.
