Hi Colin,

You wrote you, “I upgraded to Lion in order to put in a 580 standard Newegg card along with my 120 things work well now for rendering beyond 2K.” What did you mean by put in a 580 standard Newegg card?

Thanks,

D

Gabriele,

I am trying to figure whether to buy 2 more GTX 470’s or start on GTX 580 and I noticed you config for Resolve…

I snipped your gear below:
Cubix desktop 4
GTX470+GTX470+GTX470

How much vram do you have in each of your 470’s? and when clustered together does the ram accumulate to a total sum or remains on a per card sum? Does your system run 5K well? How many nodes, etc?

I am considering just adding two more 470’s to my existing 470/1.3GB card. Any recommendations?

Oh, yes…DaVinci 8.2 on a MacPro 8 core with 18GB and a Cyclone 2707 mit MacVidCard GTX 470/1.3GB, GT 120, single RedRocket card, HighPoint RocketRAID 4320 8-Channel PCI-Express x8 SAS 3Gb/s RAID Controller w/16TB 7200RPM Spinners, Decklink Extreme 3D

Thanks in advance!

I am pretty certain it was on a Sony deck. I didn’t order the capture so had no control of the CODEC.The original is 4:3 and we decided on a partial “pillar” to approx 1.66:1 give or take.

I ran the footage through JES to de-interlace and it did a pretty good job of it. The original was 16mm and was shot @ 24fps so 2:3 pull down is present.

I think the 7.5 IRE is preserved but can’t tell thru Resolve as I don’t know how to set the scale to IRE 🙁

As far as a pre-pass to scale up to 1080, well that would be difficult as there are some lower thirds that will get cropped out. To deal with this I have a lower third setting in FORMAT to tilt the image to re-frame the title.

Joseph, I really appreciate you getting back to me on this. Any suggestions for this “newbie” well what can I say, “thanks” and it’s great kharma, haha!
