You’ve air played a second monitor from a mac and extended fcpx to it? Extended desktop is new to Mavericks. Before it would screw with your main display’s resolution I believe.

Could be an interesting use for those 6 TB ports on the back of the new mac pro, no?

This is working on Mavericks. Shared tags are not working though, but I suspect that’s because the server is still on Mountain Lion.
We have one last Mac Pro besides the server to upgrade to Mavericks and we’re good.

And we’re officially dumping sparse disk images from this point on.

I have an Apple TV tv mounted in my office. Edit 2 was just able to extend it’s desktop via Airplay to my office Apple TV. We then set FCPX to use that Extended desktop as playback monitor. Edit 2 is a 2011 iMac, the Apple TV is the older 720p version, and we do not have the current year model Apple Airport Extreme with wireless AC. Playback was about 90% good with a couple of glitchy spots.

I suspect that with newer/faster/stronger hardware this will be flawless. When it is, I’ll be able to ‘sit in’ on any suite that is currently in edit without leaving my desk. This is awesome.

I’ve actually been on the betas since June or July, so it’s much better than that ever was :). This was the first time putting it on work systems. It’s pretty solid. Oh man, if you’ve installed it, be sure to turn on enhanced dictation in system preferences. I will never type again!

Ah yes. That’s an easy mistake to make. That’s just the trash of LA burning in the night. It’s a beautiful shade of green, isn’t it?

I opened 7 on Mavs and it seemed fine.

If you just needed a new mac pro as a server that would be fine methinks.

Yep. Posted a screen grab of the alert in my thread below. This will be radically changing my workflow.
