Hi, the 4000 uses one power slot and the 285 needs two so these two cards wont play together in the MacPro. If you have a 285 and a GT120, that’s a great combo, we have a number of machines using this mix in the field and reports are positive. A GT120 and 4800 are the cards available today and this is also good, the GT120 and a 4000 is fine when the 4000 for Mac is available.

yes, GT120 and 4000 is a valid config.

Resolve supports the Nvidia Quadro 4000 – in the Linux systems it replaces the FX3800 used for UI and in Mac it can be used for the UI and a second card for the image processing GPU. Performance benchmarks are under evaluation and we will update our Mac configuration guide in due course. GT120, FX4800 for Mac and GTX285 for Mac remain valid for Resolve on Mac as per the current config guide.

Hi, if the conform fps is grayed out it sounds as though u have material already in yr media pool and thus master timeline. Try setting the conform fps to 30 before addind the clips to the media pool, it should work. Then u can load the edl.

HI, If you have log source material and no input or output LUT’s that’s what Resolve renders. If you have true linear, or TV gamma linear, that’s what gets rendered.
If you have linear material and need a log render, us a lin to log LUT in the output luts section of the config LUTs screen. This LUT will be applied to the timeline when rendering.That being said, its common for film labs to be able to accept a Rec.709 calibrated TV Gamma image and for them to do the TV gamma to Log transform based on their film recorder, film stock and chemical baths.

Thanks for the feedback. The next update will have a few additional features that are currently only on the DaVinci Resolve control surface and we continue to review the requests and implement what we can as time permits.

Hi, we have see on just a few occasions that the PostGreSQL database does not complete the install and in this case a re-install generally fixes the issue. If not, please contact davincihelp@blackmagic-design.com so they guys can help you.
The uninstall process currently does not delete the database, what ever its state, as you can imagine the outcome if you accidentally removed/deleted a years worth of your projects while doing an un/ re-install.

Hi, the Linux Resolve application includes support for all the variations in the hardware for each of the different configs as specified to the DaVinci distributors in the build guide. Therefore there is no extra cost to the software to add the hardware variations, just the additional hardware and implementation cost. When the systems are being built the configurator application we provide sets up the system to use the specified hardware in the slots and configuration we determined works best for reliable operation. Specifically, the Nvidia SDI daughter board option is only supported in the application for use in as a monitor display output. Video I/O for a VTR requires the DeckLink.

Hi, Resolve plays the HD video in real time via the Decklink for both Mac and Linux so I don’t think there is anything that could be sped up. Stereoscopic 3D monitoring is available on both platforms via the Decklink as a side by side or line mesh output for your 3D monitor.
The Nvidia SDI output card is an optional (and expensive) daughter card to the Nvidia UI GPU and we have a Linux configuration that uses two Nvidia UI cards each with a SDI option to provide 4:4:4 10 bit for each eye to the 3D processor or projectors. This configuration is not technically possible in the Mac as there are insufficient slots. As this SDI option is for display, there is still a Decklink for VTR I/O.

You need an intel based CPU Mac for Resolve.
