Resolve on Mac 7.0.2 update
Posted by Peter Chamberlain on October 1, 2010 at 8:00 amHi guys, i’m pleased to report that Resolve users can now download the 7.0.2 update at https://www.blackmagic-design.com/support/software/ and it includes support for 8-bit monitoring to provide real-time HD playback on 2008 Mac Pros, additional remote grading features including grab/select/delete stills and hide/show window cursors and full support for REDlog Film gamma.
Further information about the latest software is available in the individual Readme files for Mac OS X and Linux.

October 1, 2010 at 6:42 pmMay I ask technically what it mean support 8 bit monitoring to provide realtime performance on 2008 macpro?…I thought that the diff between 2008 and 2009 was about the CPU power ,fatter ram etc ..
So now have the same performance?
Thanks
GThanks

October 1, 2010 at 6:49 pmThe issue on the 2008 Mac Pros is memory and system bus bandwidth rather than raw CPU power, I think. (Most processing happens on the GPU anyway.) The 2008 models are right on the cusp of being able to do real-time 1080p — we’re seeing something like 21-22 fps on ours. Going 8-bit means there’s 20% less data to push around, which should do the trick. (And does do the trick, in my testing to far.)

October 1, 2010 at 8:51 pmHaven’t tried the update yet, but we’re getting the same 21-22fps on our 2008 with two monitors connected. With just one monitor it’s borderline 23-24fps with even the occasional flash of green. We also have 8GB RAM, 2x2GB in each channel. Using dimm slots 3 & 4 can have a small performance hit as well.

October 1, 2010 at 9:30 pmBut how is your data transfered to the video monitors? Is it internal software RAID or external and hardware?

October 1, 2010 at 10:48 pmWhat does “additional remote grading features including grab/select/delete stills” functionality mean?
Is this programming for the Wave, or the Resolve panel, or?

No this is part of remote grading functionality of Reslove (notice the change in spelling). If systems have the same media resolve passes back and forth application data making remote grading possible.
