[Chris Borjis] “to a 2009 mac pro with 32gb of ram and an NVIDIA GTX 670 gpu.”
A GTX 670 is not the best GPU for 4K. Also the CPU from 2009 would be outdated by today’s standards. In your case it probably is not the fault of the hard drive why you cannot playback 4K at full resolution. Unless you output to a 4K client monitor 4K at 1/2 resolution or even 1/4 resolution will still look great.

Six 7200 PRM HD should work well. If you want you could stripe together more (16).
You will probably want to get a SAS RAID Card. The SAS can work with regular SATA drives. Some SAS RAID cards come with the cable but some do not. There are also external RAID controller options but they will cost more money.

If you are editing 4K R3D files or Pro Res the average hard drive will not allow you to speed up the video by much. A RAID would be needed. Having said that you should be able to playback several layers with several effects with your setup if the hard drive has enough throughput.

You can watch the whole video if you want but if you start to watch the video at 9:20 I think it might be what you are asking for.

[Richard Herd] ” So for Adobe to be coerced into Blackmagic’s model, they’d need to sell some hardware stuff. I would like to buy an Adobe OS, actually, running on Adobe hardware.”
?
Adobe does not have to sell hardware nor does Corel. BMD design has competition form Matrox and AJA. All the companies mentioned want their hardware to work with FCPX, Avid, Adobe, Sony, Edius etc. It is not like BMD is going to make computers or Apple is go to make broadcast equipment. BMD may simply offer a better solution than Premiere Pro and FCPX for some editors in another year or two. It is not a big riddle and we need not make it into something it is not.

[Scott Witthaus] “[andy patterson] “Did I say Adobe wants revenue loss?”
In essence, you did. Maybe not “want” but your idea will do the same. No company “wants” a revenue decrease unless it is offset by a greater expense decrease. By saying cut your prices by 50% +, you certainly are talking about a revenue loss. No way around it unless you see a vast increase in sales volume at the lower cost (or slash expenses, a la Avid).”
It is called competition.
[Scott Witthaus] “[andy patterson] “If DR and Fusion start to increase the user base by 15% each month and the PP and AE user base decreases by 12% each month”
This is a bit of “the sky is falling”. Resolve has a long way to go to be accepted as an editing platform and they have to overcome entrenched user-bases from Apple, Avid and Adobe. Plus Adobe is playing at the enterprise level and that sector will simply not turn on a dime to change products. Adobe has time to craft a counter-strategy.”
Nothing will happen overnight nor did I say it will. I have implied where will each company be in another two years? Who knows?
[Scott Witthaus] “What I would find interesting is if Adobe takes a “Sling TV Model” where they can offer the 5 core products that most folks use (PS, AE, Pr, IL and Aud for example) for let’s say $25 a month and then allow you to buy other CC products a la carte. Could they sustain their current revenue?”
That is kind of my point. Adobe may have to rethink things because of the competition. Will BMD introduce a photo/graphic design program at NAB 2018? Who knows? Will BMD offer a better solution than Adobe for 85% of the editors in another two years? Who knows?

[Andrew Kimery] “[andy patterson] “I hope competition will make Adobe lower the price to $14.95 a month.”
I think $14.95 is… overly optimistic. I could see Adobe maybe doing something like bundling the apps like they did in the CS days and charging $29.99/mo for a bundle while keeping $49.99/mo for people who want the whole enchilada.”
I agree that $14.95 might be to low but I think BMD might create some competition. Even $29.99 for the CC would be a much better price. Will BMD release a photo/graphic design program at NAB 2018? Who knows?

[Scott Witthaus] “[andy patterson] “I hope competition will make Adobe lower the price to $14.95 a month.”
Why would you think this would happen? Why would Adobe want that revenue loss?”
Did I say Adobe wants revenue loss? You have heard about competition haven’t you? If DR and Fusion start to increase the user base by 15% each month and the PP and AE user base decreases by 12% each month Adobe will start to loose it’s user base to competing products from the competition. They will indeed start to loose revenue. I am not saying that will happen but that is how competition works. Will BMD offer a photo/graphic design program that integrates well with DR for $49.99? Who knows? Adobe can afford to loose it’s audio and video user base and still make money of the web design and graphic design products but who knows what the competition will offer in another two years from now?
-
BMD software will get better as will Adobe’s. The only bad thing about Adobe’s CC is the monthly rental fee of $49.99 a month. I hope competition will make Adobe lower the price to $14.95 a month.

If you watch the video at 6:40 to 7:40 you will see with the DV converter and the Blackmagic Design Intensity Shuttle you have a setup option. I am not saying that it will work for your AJA product but it will allow my Intensity Shuttle to output 4K files to a broadcast monitor. With out selecting the correct option it will not output 4K video files to the broadcast monitor. If you have a funky frame rate than might also be an issue. The Intensity Shuttle can output a lot of video files but not everything.
