If you click “About DaVinci Resolve” the application window will report the version you are running plus the number of GPUs the software is seeing. In your case, one; the saddest, slowest Quadro board you can install. But it is Apple-approved!

Chris, thank you for our private exchange — just a public acknowledgment here on the COW (for all) that Tangent was and is very supportive of their users and I will shortly have the issue rectified.

Pro Forum?
Used to be at davsys.com/
You needed a serial number. But isn’t this about “democratization”? Seriously, don’t get me started.

Something is also lingering about the flashed 480s being clocked differently depending on whether they’re for inboard PCIe or outboard Cubix hosting.
However, I get large numbers in CUDA-Z. Its just laggy with an external eSATA drive ( and very crashy when trying to navigate through the timeline). Encouragingly, NR doesn’t seem to slow it down at all.
I also get a PCI “error when gathering data” if I look in “About this MAC”…. Apple really doesn’t like anybody going off-book and improv-ing.

I thought the PCIe bus was throttled to the lowest common bit rate for the slowest card. It might be the Q4000 that’s pulling everything down. I also notice you had an ATTO card in the first iteration.
Like you, I’m also wondering if I have a slow disk or something, because my primary system doesn’t seem particularly quick, even with two 480’s in a Cubix. I get better performance from my AVID/Mac with a single Q4000 in slot 2 (ATI5770 for UI).
I don’t think I’m entirely familiar with what the .kext deletion is supposed to accomplish…?

[Raj Kumar] “. There’s no 23.98 FPS setting in Davinci.”
Yes, there is. Even using AAF round trip under the Easy Setup dialog in the Render page, you should have the option to select either 24 or 23.98 in the Frame Rate dialog.

Use compositing software?

My experience with an outboard (Wavetek/Leitch) scope is that it is pretty much impossible to generate any luminance values above 100IRE out of Resolve. You can crank the gains until the cows have come home, had dinner, brushed their teeth, done the crossword puzzle and gone to bed, got up again to get a glass of water, watched the news, and then went to sleep.
Also in my experience, the FCP “legalizer” is a joke, a bad one, worse than the cows coming home, etc.
You are allowed up to 102IRE in most cases, so a little bit of “fuzziness” is not going to be the end of the world. What is omitted in the FCP version is that it utterly fails to deal with anything around the 0 IRE area, which can be just as critical — especially if you’re dicking around with flipping between Linear 709 and full scale RGB. Be careful with that, especially if you are using ProRes 4444 and particularly if you’re migrating between applications and systems. I’m thinking specifically about Media Composer and After Effects.The reality of the 120IRE threshold is that it is combined Y+C that is of concern for that parameter. Something that is somewhat difficult to simulate for most digital scopes…

[Ryan Snook] “Let me know if I’m over looking something.”
Not really, you’re doing the numbers. Dreamcolor was rolled out to supply animator cubicle farms, and its big claim to fame is that, for a graphics display, it can approach Rec709, but can be set up so that many monitors can be set up to display the same values. Very important in graphics work… but we work in a different space.
