you can simply move the Red 4 plug in out of the filters and graphics folders inside the Media 100 application folder, and m100 will default back to red 4, BUT, make sure you don’t open any red 3 projects in Red 4 as you WON’t be able to go back.
Or do a find for Red 4 and delete those items, but I dont know if there’s any cross components for 3 and 4, so be careful with that. There no ‘uninstall’ or remove programs in Mac OS as with Windoze.

Also, what version of Quick Time are you using?

Mr. SerGio,
I’m sorry, i wasn’t trying to comment on your drive recomendations. I was commenting on why hbvideo was still seeing yellow bars, but getting dropped frames, but thanks for the info on those drives, I’ll have to look into them.
best,

I don’t think v11 or SW has a capablity to check the processor speed and compare that against what’s on the time line in determing what it can play in real time.
The yellow bars simply indicate what, in an ideal world, the appliation *should* be able to play back in real time.
I think you could stack 20 layers of 10 bit uncompressed video, each at 50% opacity and all twenty will present that yellow bar, because the application *can* do opacity changes in real time (it just can’t play all 20 at once).
So in this case, a G5 would present better real world performance than a dual 500 G4, both would probably still drop frames.

I would expect you’d see a significant difference between SW on a g5 vs a g4 (espcially a dual 500, i recall m100 suggesting a minimum of a 1.42 g4).
I’ll bet drives would also help, but that will depend on what type of media you’re working with.
if you’re doing DV data rates (150kb-ish, ntsc) then I’d be you see a few layers out of even FW drives, but if you’re using a dual 500 g4, that may not be fast enough to play more than the A/B track regardless of what type of drives you’ve connected.

I believe that you can still install RED separately and it will work exactly as expected.

Extension cable? You might be better off just running BNC and XLR the distance between your new patch bay and that break out box… How old is NUBUS, something like approaching 15 years old, I’d be surprised if any one has any inventory of stuff like that.

As I understand it, This is some of the ‘increased Boris integration’. Title suite is Graffiti, Effects suite is FX and Composite suite is RED. So on the install of the new AJA package, your system key determines which package you’re allowed…

m100 added an MJPEG codec with variable compression to support an HD frame size. It’ll be great for long form projects where you’ll need the flexibility of capturing HD source at, say, a 10-1 ratio, but don’t want to off-line in SD.

Hi Greg,
I’m curious about how you computed the cost difference…. The Media 100 HDe system costs $3495… This would be the model you’d want in order to continue to work with your Component Betacam material. HD Suite (@ $5995) is SDI only, so unless you NEED that up-convert / Cross convert feature that Rob N mentioned…
And when you consider fcp (ok, fine with all it’s associated apps) is $1300, plus the cost of the AJA LHe app $1500 with the break out (K-Box) another $300… seems we’re closer to the same overall price: $3100 (ok, you get a discount for upgrading, but that’s NOT a $5k difference…)
THEN, any legacy project you had in media 100 i is NOT compatible with FCP, and then Bobby pointed out a number of Unique features of Media 100.
Okay, there’s not a ton of Media 100 editors out there, but seriously, how hard is it to learn Media 100? If you’ve got NLE experience, you’ll be editing in m100 in a day.
Okay, my $.02
