Any GTX 580 will work, but I would recommand to use a GTX 580 build around NVidia original design. No over clocking, nor special power needs. Any GTX 580 with standard clock speed and 1,5 or 3 GB of Vram. (3 GB is better but more difficult to find). I bought mine 270 $ on ebay, and it definitely rocks with AE CS6. You just have to modify a file inside AE app for your card to be fully recognize by Cuda accelerated processing in AE. Very simple, tutorial on Youtube.

Yes ! 96 GB as well as a very fast SSD for system and scratch and of course a big CUDA capable Nvidia Video card. I use a PC GTX 580 without any modification on Mountain Lion and CS6 and it rocks !

That’s too bad ! Aja guys, on this, you suck !!

Let me guess … Is your original file at 1440*1080 ? It would explain that MPEGstreamClip output is 1920×1080, so bigger and smoother (no interpolation).

thanks a lot for all your answers.

Hi jeremy,

I just read Ki pro manual and was wondering if it can be used as the iohd to ingest and output video to and from FCP ? If yes, I would consider to sell my Iohd to buy a Ki pro…

RESOLVED ! UPGRADED TO 6.0.1 !

I’ve exchange a lot with Aja support by mail. Nothings worked until new 6.0.1 update, everything is now fine for me. No more problem with 720p25 footage !
That’s great.

Thanks to evreybody here at Cow !

Hi Brian,

No hesitation, Sony EX1 or better EX3. It’s a fantastic camera than outpasses HVX200 in any circumtancies. Go to https://philipbloom.co.uk/, he is a DoP and knows these cameras better than anyone. He will answer you to all your question. You can also google sony ex1 versus HVX200 and see some comparative shoots…

Hi Bob,

You write : “It seems that your interest in debating is for only one reason – you want a HARD FIRM ANSWER why you can’t do uncompressed HD without spending more money. The answer – do ProRes422HQ, and stop complaining. ”

Reply : that’s your opinion, you’re wrong and a little arrogant because you just don’t know me.
I’m working only with ProRes. I’ve bought all my gear for that and it works pretty well. I don’t care of uncompressed……!!
I’m not professional editor or dop or whatever, I essentially do create original videos for live show as contemporary dance, street theatre and so. And artistic budgets are often small..
But there’s two things that it seems you don’t like much : people who don’t have enough money to buy all that wonderful gear you are testing all day, and same curious people trying to have the best from this gear.

For all other question about hardware, I understand you don’t know, it doesn’t mean it’s not interesting for the rest of us.

Hi Bob !

Some point of this debate are still difficult to understand for me :

– when I talk about 220MB/s limitation, I make reference to this part of your post : “In a port multiplier chassis, FIVE eSATA drives can do a MAXIMUM speed of 220mb/sec”.
Is it a limitation of the PM chip inside the enclosure? Or the same PM enclosure with the same 5 drives stripped would have better performance connected to a MacPro ?

– you said : “REPLY – I do not know where you get your information from. I have NEVER seen a single eSATA drive do greater than 70mb/sec. Where do you get the information that you can gegt 100mb/sec from each drive ? You are incorrect”

In fact, I’ve never said I can get 100mb/s of each drive, I just said I was expecting this… When I’ve received my material (2x1To Hitachi 7K1000 disks in a EnhanceBox 4 x 3.5″ SATA II HDs E4 PM system connected to a Macbook Pro 2.4 via sonnet esata PM card), I’ve directly created a Raid0 with disk utility and made a Aja system test bench : write 100MB/s, read : 105MB/s. I was disappointed. So, I’ve erased raid0 and formatted the two disk separatly, then bench only a disk : read 80MB/s, Write : 85MB/s.

So I just try to understand why the gain is so little. Have you an answer please ?

– You said : “I don’t give a crap what this reviewer writes” about better preformances than the ones you usually note. What do you think about this test (made with Kona system test in a MacPro and only 4 disks) : https://www.barefeats.com/harper13.html

Thanks Bob for your replies, I like much to debate with you.
