Kenneth,

I agree with you… Apple tout background rendering as a revolutionary feature when most of the time it’s not background rendering anything.

August 6, 2011 at 12:55 am in reply to: Adobe Media Encoder debayer quality?

I’m planning to use AME for my batch transcodes of R#D files to Apple ProRes. I don’t have a RED Rocket card but I do have a 12 core Mac Pro that I would like all the cores utilized. So basically I will use REDCine-X to create a bin and then drag the files from REDCine over to Adobe Media Encoder. This is working great so far with one caveat… I’m not sure what the debayer quality in AME is. I’m thinking it defaults to FULL. I would love if someone is knowledgeable enough to post a definitive answer.

“You can continue to work while your effects render.” No you can’t… background rendering stops when you are actively editing. I hate their marketing gimmicks.

Mr. Grimes,

Have you seen a monitor that is not properly calibrated? If so you will know that the colors can be completely off. A blue can appear as grey. So imagine you are thinking your grey wall is too dull and you make a correction to turn it into blue. Well what color is that blue now that you see? Ok so that’s the case for proper calibration. My 5k monitor is a 10 bit monitor than can show more colors… 1.07 billion to be exact. It can prevent 8 bit banding in shades of a color (sky for example) .it can work in DCI-P3 mode which closely matches theatrical environments. It can show a 444 RGB signal which is the highest quality to monitor in. you can do your own testing of 422 vs 444 footage to see the difference. Now for web edit in your underwear on a Mac mini people these features may not matter… But different strokes for different folks.

Yes… monitoring is the only big issue that needs to be resolved.

I think users with the Quadro 4000 are primarily affected:

CUDA v4.0.17 has to be updated… I’m in the same boat will have to wait on NVidia.

Was told by Blackmagic Support Representative that the Decklink HD Extreme 3D+ does not support SMPTE 425M Level A… strangely it supports Level B. I’m waiting on an answer from them as to why it does not support SMPTE 425M Level A.

Unfortunately the FSI LM-2461W only supports single link 4:4:4 RGB with either SMPTE-425M Level A or Level B. Sent a request to Blackmagic to see some if there is a solution or future firmware update to support SMPTE 425 o. The Decklink HD Extreme 3D+. I also have to see if the Decklink 4K is supported by RESOLVE. Even if it is… Sucks to lose the analog I/O ports since the Decklink 4K doesn’t support it.

Looks like the problem is that Decklink HD Extreme 3D+ is not SMPTE 425 compliant. This royally sucks. The 3 Gb/sec SDI on the Flanders Scientific LM-2461W is Level A SMPTE 425M-A or Level B SMPTE 425M-B.
