So you’re still saying it’s a new computer even though a few things are the same. Maybe we have a different view on what “first generation” means. They’ve thoroughly tested Resolve on the previous MacPro so taking a chance with a new Mac doesn’t make any sense. I’d come up with an analogy right now, but I can’t think of any.

I really hope it’s more than just a screen capture. A split screen video incorporating Wave and Impresario operation would be great.

It’s the first Mac 12 core with a Westmere processor. Why wouldn’t it be considered 1st generation?

It depends on what you’re doing. Multiple GPUs and DSPs work fine, so after you load up your GPUs/etc. on a Magma or Cubix, you’ll have an extra slot or slots to rock out with. Considering GPUs are what really matter when it comes to performance, I don’t see a point in worrying about the new 12 cores.
As a side note, I wouldn’t ever buy a first generation Apple product.

Or you could just buy a PCI-e chassis. Do a little research and you’ll find many PC users and audio professionals have been using them for years. A GT 120 will run fine on one as well as any other card that uses less than it’s available power supply, and that includes capture cards.
If you’re concerned about cost, you’d probably have to pay more to Apple for extra slots anyway.

Make sure to get a desk that let’s you rackmount the scopes just below eye level and below your view of the monitor. Having to turn your head left/right to look at scopes for 10 hours kills your neck and slows you down.

Does it support 10bit via HD-SDI?

There’s other sites that might be better for this question. Home Theater Shack has some pretty awesome threads regarding projectors and screens. If you want to geek out, read some of their threads on Munsell grayscale paint for DIY screens. Here’s an example…

Unless they changed the GUI since NAB, it looks just like the older Resolve. The problem with that is if they don’t add hue wheels and you don’t have a control surface, you’ll have to use the little primary black/gamma/gain bars in the bottom left corner as a substitute.

No problem. Does the AJA converter make sense now?
