I know you can’t really go into details but is there a possibility that we will be able to do 1/4 editing of 4K R3D on Macbook Pros?

Transmit doesn’t work with my Ultrastudio 3D on larger than 1080p timelines. (r3d)

Just saw there was another thread with the issue. Sorry i posted too fast.

I guess that answers my question. Basically it’s not working. Maybe that’s why we never got any specs on speed improvements with OpenCL.

[Martin Smith]

Yes,

You have to set the audio from the apple system preference / sound.

Set output device to “blackmagic design…”

thanks,

To export to Protools check this app. It’s free.

If you have 9.2 beta installed your BM system preference app will show this from the settings tab. It should have a mention of FCP X under the “Set Default Video Standard as:” dropdown.

Just change the “Set Default Video Standard as:” to whatever you use for editing.

You have to set the video output resolution from the OS X system Preference Black Magic application.

If you monitor audio through BM device you have to set the ouput to blackmagic device in the sound preference of OS X as well.

Let me know how it goes for you, it’s working “ok” here but of course this is beta so no complaining. The biggest issue for me is after playback from the timeline the screen is always black, it doesn’t stop on the frame you stop or pause. You have to fiddle around with the scrubber or click on different clips to make the image come back.

Playback feels steady.

Does it work with Ultrastudio 3D?

The reason why Blackmagic Design support never answered this thread is because it’s not possible.

It’s funny that they end their email with “Hope that helps.”

Here’s their response:

Hello xxxxxxx,

Regarding the gray that you were seeing at 16 with your display monitor, here is what we were advised.

Internally the color space is YUV, but it can translate the YUV to RGB. The translation can occur depending on the monitor. This would explain why you are seeing the grey at 16 and not white. Your monitor is receiving RGB at 0 to 255.

We inquired to see if there is a toggle or option to switch between YUV or RGB. Unfortunately, that is not an option that is currently available.

Hope that helps.

Got it working.

Full HD 1080 60Fps capture of the iPad 2 with sound.

Thanks to Filip Lukasik for the suggestion. He’s the one to really thank here. For it to work you will need to buy the “HDMI Detective Plus” from Gefen.

Here’s how to do it.

– Make sure the HDMI detective Plus write protection switch is on “E”

– Plug the HDMI detective plus OUT to your TV and your iPad in the IN.You should see a 1080p mirror of the iPad 2 UI in your TV. Now it’s time to store this EDID in the HDMI Detective Plus.

– Plug the power cord to the HDMI Detective Plus.

– Press the “Program” button. It will flash green, then release the button and it should be solid green. Now the 1080p 60 EDID is stored in the HDMI Detective Plus memory.

– To capture in Media Express, make your capture settings HD 1080p 60. Connect your ipad to the HDMI Detective Plus “IN” and the “OUT” to the Ultrastudio 3D. No need to plug in the HDMI Detective Plus power cord. The Ultrastudio 3D will get the proper EDID.

Thanks to Fillip again.
