Funny that you used the word “voodoo.” Here’s my post from July when I was trying to find the cheapest PCI-e solution during the Color/Resolve hysteria (before we realized it wasn’t an issue.)

Like I said months ago, audio guys have been using these for years with their ProTools HD systems. It’s not voodoo. I know it’s not video, but they were still running hundreds of tracks of audio YEARS ago with DSP cards in a chassis on G4’s.
Next one….
Borrowing from Rohit’s post on REDUSER…
“On a setup here, we are using 2 GTX285s and 1 Red Rocket in the Cubix expansion chassis, 4096×2304 Red Half-res premium decode, and more than 20 nodes of grades at 24fps. We also have a Decklink Extreme 3D+ and a ATI 5770 for GUI monitoring in the Mac Pro. There is still a slot open for a FC card in the Mac Pro.”
I think you should just email or call the guy at Cubix for a detailed explanation.

I said memory isn’t as important as you think in the context of Resolve(it’s a DaVinci forum after all). I never said RAM in general isn’t important. I’d rather invest the $1500 in GPU’s and a Cubix, but that’s just me.
BTW, doesn’t Smoke only monitor via AJA? Won’t you need a PCI-e chassis to run both video cards?

RAM isn’t as important as you think, but it doesn’t hurt to have the recommended specs. To give you an example I’ve seen Resolve on a 2008 system, no RAID, only 4GB, and a GTX 285 and it was still doing 1080 ProRes 444 with multiple nodes at 24 FPS.

You can max out to 32 but Resolve requires a specific amount depending on the system you’re using. How many applications do you usually run at the same time?

CUBIX offers an Express34 option for laptops. Could Resolve potentially utilize this with a MacBook Pro? This would be an awesome combo for working on set.

“Now we are talking with multiple gpus”The panel support is good, but multiple GPU’s is the winner here. We basically have cheap access to a Linux Resolve with a Quadro Plex. How much would a system like that cost a year ago? I’m really curious to see how other companies react.

This is awesome.

They work and now Cubix is officially supported for Linux style multiple GPU madness with 7.1. Haha.

What does the “+” do?

Using a blur with a curve and a screen blend will get you some interesting glowing highlights. Combine that with windows, gain control, color washes, etc. for any number of combinations and that’s just one example. It’s all about your imagination and how much time you have to experiment.
You could just use a luma key to get glows, but blending modes provide you with more options and different looks.
