Scroll down to about half way thru this article to get a good illustration of one technique in MC8.3

To get a successful relink, you have to be sure the timecode and tape name match.

If you’re on a PC, just browse to your Startup Folder and remove the .exe. A more brute force method would be to browse to the application folder and rename the executable to something that doesn’t have the .exe extension.

Thunderbolt expansion chassis work great with PCI cards, but, as far as I know, there’s still not enough bandwidth for video cards to work.

U have to select MXF as the output category.

What saves my bacon is I never run more than 3 video tracks. I’m sure if I had 12 tracks, it might not work as well.

I run v8.3 on a MacBook Pro Retina 15. It works extremely well for me. Part of the reason it works well is because ALL my clips and media files run off an external Thunderbolt drive setup. My working drives are 2 x 1 Gb SSD’s in a non-RAID setup. My storage drives are RAID0, SATA III served thru a Highpoint RS6328 Rocketstor.

In a word, “no”. Blackmagic would need to write drivers to allow a direct connection to each and every GUI enabled application, in this case for Windows/Mac desktop. I’ve wished, for a long time, that at least BMD could write drivers to enable Quicktime playback on a color critical monitor, but, they haven’t done that. As a side note, AJA has an application called “Control Room” that will playback media thru their IO4K hardware to an external monitor. Sadly, BMD will not write drivers for DaVinci Resolve and AJA.

I’ doing exactly as you are planning. GUI Video input comes via Display Port from the computer video output. Color monitoring comes from a BMD mini-monitor/Thunderbolt feeding a Gefen converter to generate the RGB input to HDMI. However, as it’s been posted, right now, you can’t get 10-bit from your video card. My Dreamcolor is the older model, so, in addition to 10-bit, the Dreamcolor won’t run the expanded color space engine unless I feed it an RGB signal. Perhaps the newer Dreamcolors don’t have this restriction. Another nuance to the setup is that my Dreamcolor has no internal audio processing, so, I have an audio disembedder to provide an analog audio signal picked off the HDSDI signal.
