Yes, indeed, you can!

On the iMac, I can reinstall the CUDA drivers for sure, but I can’t recall, that I can reinstall any drivers, because they are included in those OS combo updates, right. Physically reinstall the nVida Card could also be an issue, since it is soldered to the iMac’s mainboard.
Anyway, our real capture station is our Mac Pro with the AJA Card – the iMac was only our first backup solution.

Yep, but unfortunately no answer yet…

Hi Peter,
Strangely, yes! And I checked it again today, just to be sure.
And I have installed the 10.4.5 drivers + CC plugins before.
What really boggles me, is that I have the exactly same Issue on two different systems with two different video cards. The only thing they have in common is, that both systems run on 10.8.4.
And before anyone asks: Yes, the tapes I tried to capture are fine and in sync. I also checked that already desperately for about 1000 times… 😉

I tried a drivers update now – it says, that I have already the latest update :/
It is a normal ProRes 422 1920×1080 25p Sequence…

The GTX does very well in Color – the problems are only in FCP
The Color-related problems are on my other workstation, the one with the GT 120 in combination with Color 1.5.1 – if you want, I can post an image when I’m back at work (altough it’s a little bit off-topic in this thread ;)).
Btw: Both Workstations are running on OSX 10.6.2 and FCP 7.0.1
Workstation 1 is a MacPro 2008 8×3 GHz / 16GB RAM / GeForce GT120 / Blackmagic Multibridge
Workstation 2 is a MacPro 2009 8×2.66 GHZ / 8GB RAM / GeForce GTX285 / Blackmagic Decklink ExtremeHonestly – I can’t remember the effect right now – It is the project of a collegue of mine. Let me check that again tomorrow at work. All I know is, that it was a simple built-in effect.

More than a GTX285?
I have a second Workstation equipped with a MacPro 2008 and a GeForce GT120 – which is a much smaller setting. Over there, I have worked with HDCAM SR and RED Material and it worked like a charm.
So, I don’t really think that it has something directly to do with insufficient GPU power. But I can also be wrong 😉
Greets!

Does somebody have a clue? Because I don’t 😉

First of all: Thank you for all your input!
You gave me a good overview (and some headache 😉 ) on this topic.
So from my point of view – If I want do build up a FinalCutServer Environment with an Online/Offline (ProRes) Workflow, I don’t need a super duper fast RAID Storage, but a fast server for the conversions etc, right?
Also, I have the option to choose between 10G Ethernet (FC over Ethernet) and normal FC – and I can mix the different media in a network. Plus I could use the 2 SAS towers I already have for online editing and RT performance, right?
I hope I got it right 😉

On the formats: We use a lot of different formats, depending on the client. Most of the time, we have to handle 10 bit uncompressed streams (SD and HD), ProRes 422 (and further on ProRes 4444), and many forms of XDCAM (HD422 50, EX, etc.). All edit suites should be able to work simultaneously. We have already a FC infrastructure, so I guess my bosses want to stick with it.
Our future plans would include the replacement of the 2 G5s with 2 MacPros. The G5s will be reused for graphics, ingesting and other stuff, where realtime performance isn’t that necessary.
So in total, there would be 4 to 5 workstations, that should have a direct connection with the SAN, but only 3 of them must have a FC connection. We haven’t really decided yet, if we want to have a fast realtime storage or only a shared storage for pushing and pulling files.
My wish would be a classic Final Cut Server solution, where the server manages all files for all edits – perhaps with an online/offline workflow.
I hope that was a little bit more specific 😉
