bit late, but:
i have a compact 40-40 BMD sdi switch.
it does dual link 10bit, and even dual link 12-bit RGB. (not official supported though)
i also use it for capturing streams from one computer to another and its always seemsless. also in 12bits. -

okay, i know fcp should be faster, but my problem is now that my nehalem-cpu renders like 5x slower than my 2006 macpro…
update: fcp on the nehalem does a full realtime playback in HD with multiple layers/effects. so it IS fast, but when it comes to actually rendering, it slows down like crazy.
i did a diskspeed test on my internal raid (wich used to work just fine) the readspeeds is about 270MB/SEC and the writespeed is about 6 (!) MB/SEC.
okay, so the disk is propably broken. so i connected a HUGE-raid-system through fiberoptic 4Gb/sec on my nehalem; ran the speedtest, and read AND write are now above 280Mb/SEC. but then i started working in fcp again and still the actual renders drops down really slow. so maybe not a disk-error? -

hi jack,
thnx for the reply
i know the processors won’t do much in color, but my greatest concern is fcp7 in this case. the cpu is almost laying flat during rendering wich causes unnessesary long rendertimes.. -

i got the same bug. relaying new audio (wich is supposed to be sinc) on the timeline…on two stations. one with a kona3 card and one with a BM HD extreme. the ‘out-of-sinc’ disappears when you disable the videocard. i really really begin to hate FCP.
the other day i got a 4x HDCAM dump at 11 PM and the audio went out of sinc as descibed above. the client freaked out..
beginning to question the ‘pro’ on the pro-apps -
i fixed it…
you have to connect the usb-hub from the monitor too to make it work
i guess usb is now a part of the dvi-connection 😉
apple… -
just do a 8bit/10bit uncompressed qt render. and then zip it in the finder (rightclick-compress…). you will be amazed about the decrease of size 🙂

the fcp-movie is probably in DV-codec right?
if you play a dv-file (qt) in the quicktimeplayer on your desktop, it will look blurred/jagged. That’s because dv-files are made to look good on an external video-monitor.
if the client is gonna use it as a backup or a masterfile for dvd-rendering. the dv-file will do a better job than the lowres qt in h264 or sorensor or whatever compression you’ve been using. if you want a highres qt that will also look good in the desktop-qt-player, you have to use 8bit/10bit or a prores-codec.
