Hi Aurie,
Do you mean appending all the nodes from the Stills to the current shot starting from the last node ?

Tested RED r3d media (HD res) on a 12-core Mac Pro and got real time playback at half res good setting. With the CPU activity meter opened, at half res good, each CPU cores were about half but once set to half res premium, all the CPU cores went through the ceiling and playback was around 20fps.
Also another observation, at half res good setting, when doing a object tracking, all the CPU cores went maximum as well.
I didn’t have any RED 2K/4K media to test but I’d reckon it may be possible to playback RED 2K in real time
with half res good setting.-chrispy

Is there a reason you need to create a database ? You should just use the default database which is a local database on the Mac Pro.

I would assume that under Hackintosh you are still limited to what the Mac OSX supports, regardless of whether the PC motherboard itself supports those other NVIDIA graphics card like the GTX480.

Hi Rodrigo,
For the GPU cards, it either the NVIDIA GTX285 or NVIDIA Quadro FX4800. If you can’t find the GTX285 then your other option is only the FX4800. As to the ram, it will work 8GB but it will not be optimized and you may see some drop in performance. I was told at one stage that it may crash the application.
As for the ATI card, I’m not sure if anyone has actually tried running Resolve with the card present. I guess Resolve will just ignore the card and report that it is not supported but I’d be curious to see what happens to the viewer display if you connect the GUI monitor to the ATI card. Maybe it’ll just be black display.
And since you are running Hackintosh, this is another unchartered territory which may or may not work and alot of these are hit and run. If it works for you, great but if it doesn’t, then you know what happens next when you start asking why it doesn’t work 🙂
To be honest, if you are planning to setup the Resolve as a full time grading system with clients sitting next to you, go with the certified hardware specification. The last thing you need is the system crashing sporadically which makes you look bad in front of the client and then words spread around that Resolve is unstable and constantly crashing. That’s one area that will give a bad name to the product.
I have a Resolve Mac customer running for about a month or so now with the certified hardware and so far it’s been very well behaved.

The Decklink HD Extreme 3D+ supports HDMI 1.4 so you can do full frame sequential 3D stereoscopic output.

Correct me if I’m wrong, the 2007 Mac Pro does not have the 6-pin power connector on the motherboard to power the NVIDIA GTX285 or NVIDIA Quadro FX4800 GPU card.

Bob Zelin will be more than happy to customize one for you 🙂

Well…it may be an equally uphill battle, or perhaps even a steeper hill to climb, to port Resolve to Windows since it’s probably a major rewrite. It will be a little challenging over the next few months.

There’s no need to connect anything to the GTX285 or FX4800. It sits inside the Mac to handle all the GPU processing. If you need dual monitor setup you would connect both monitors to the GT120.
Good question on the CS5. It should recognise the FX4800 and takes advantage of it.
