Something similar happened to me. I bought one of the new 2012 Panasonic Viera LED (IPS) tv to be used on my edit suite. When I tried to playback a 30fps timeline (29.97) the monitor said “No input signal” or something like that. I thought there was something wrong with my Matrox MXO2 mini (sorry, no BMD yet), so I connected my Samsung LED TV and everything worked perfectly. Then I figured (by reading the manual) that the problem was that those Panasonic TVs don’t support that particular frame rate. What a bummer. I assumed that the Panasonic would support all the popular frame rates since my year and half old Samsung supports everything except 1080p at 60fps.

Hey Jose, Have you tried Premiere Pro CS6 with your setup yet?. I also want to run Resolve and Premiere on the same Mac with the GT-120 that came with the Mac Pro and a Quadro 4000 I’m planning on buying.
I found this video about Premiere Pro CS6 in which he uses the mac mini for the GUI and the Quadro 4000 for CUDA acceleration. This could be the proof that what we are trying to accomplish is doable, at least with CS6.

I saw that video and noticed that the system is setup in a way that it uses the Mac Mini for the GUI and the Quadro 4000 for the CUDA acceleration. I heard that wasn’t posible with previous versions of Premiere. You needed to use the same GPU card for both GUI and CUDA acceleration. Is it posible to use, for example, a GT-120 for the GUI and a Quadro 4000 for CUDA acceleration on the same Mac Pro? This configuration is ideal for Davinci Resolve. Notice I’m not talking about the new Nvidia Maximus dual GPU configuration.

So what you’re saying is that Resolve won’t work if there is a monitor connected to the GPU that will do the heavy processing, in this case the quadro 4000. And Premiere Pro has the opposite behavior; it requires the GUI monitor to be connected to the same GPU that accelerates the Mercury Playback Engine.
Ok, now I get it. Thanks!

Hi Jose, I noticed you posted the same question at “Adobe Premiere Pro” and “Adobe After Effects Expressions” forums. You got some response here but nobody has really answered your question yet.
My situation is similar to yours. I have a 2009 Mac Pro (4,1) with the original GT-120 and was thinking on adding a quadro 4000 to get maximun acceleration with the Adobe Mercury Engine. This is going to be a multi-purpose workstation running also Davinci Resolve. This is an ideal setup as per Blackmagic Desing recommended configurations. What you and I want to know is if there is going to be any conflict with Premiere Pro not recognizing the quadro 4000 card because of the GT-120.
I’m eager to know the answer to this and hear about any user experience with a similar setup. I wonder if you can tell Premiere Pro to use the quadro 4000 and ignore the GT-120.

Why does Hitler always react the same way, every time there is a product announcement that makes him regret his recent purchase (order)? LoL!

“Looks like they are improving things a lot on the Mac side.”
Hope they improve stability and performance too.

I was considering one of the Chache-A systems. They are pricey because they are backup/archiving appliances as oppose to off-the-shelf independent parts. Still, I would rather go with a LTO-5 drive and an Atto SAS HBA card.
For software, I was thinking on the Tolis Group BRU PE. This version runs on Mac OS X and offers additional benefits when used with Final Cut Pro. The only problem is that it is a proprietary system which limits interchangeability.
For Windows 7, a company called Xendata announced the X1500 bundle which promises the same functionality as the Tolis Group alternative, but using the POSIX tar format, making it more open.
Just recently, I discovered something called LTFS, which seems like the answer to all our prayers. All you need is a free software you can download from the HP or IBM sites, an LTO-5 drive, the HBA card and the computer of course (it can be the same one you use for editing if you have an available PCIe slot). This will let you use your archive system just like any jump drive; interchangeable with Mac OS X and Linux (they are working on a Windows version)and with drag-and-drop operability.
For a Mac Pro, the best option would be: HP Lto-5 drive, Atto Serial Attached SCSI (sas) card, and the LTFS firmware. They are proven to work well together.
