I think that 23inch display should be better!!!!
30′ has native resolution 2560×1600 much more than HD
23′ has native res. exactly in size you want. (1920×1200(1080 with small letterbox).
In my opinion (I use 30′ aplle cinema HD since couple of weeks) this display has great color, I can see only minor diffrences in blacks in comparition to proffesional CRT 19′ HD dedicated monitor.

Pinnacle doesn’t work on winXP and PPRO. But you can use premiere 6.5

What does it mean for me? Can I – any way – get realtime preview in HD from AfterFX? Now or in a futere? Can I help myself changing hardware config or dealing with the system setup, registry? Will you update your drivers in future?

The most wierd thing is that i made some test with my standard definition worstation and DIDM’T notice any problems…
Testing procedure was:
generate no animated pattern with 4 gradient point (AE RENDER) and put timecode over it. Rendering RAM Preview and… everything goes incredibly smooth, in 1920×1080 25FPS! Only diference is that i used rendered AFX animation NOT footage captured via Decklink.

I didn’t named my pproblem correctly. SO there is an explanation.
I know that AFX isn’t realtime, but normaly in my PAL workstation when I hit 0 (numpad), computer renders preview and AFTER RENDERING plays in realtime (25FPS).
THe problem is in my second – brand new workstation. WHen I hit 0 (numpad) to render preview green bar appears over the timeline (rendered frames are loded to RAM) but …. during playback i get only 6,8 FPS. (resolution HD 1920×1080) not desired 24 or 25 FPS.
I repeat, problem appears ONLY in my HD station with HD resolution

I don’t know why…

The problem is still here. I know that After FX isn’t a real time solution. So I mentoined about problem with the RAM PREVIEW. In my Standard Resolution workstation there is no problem, whet I hit the (numpad) ENTER green line appears over the timeline and rendered to RAM material is played smoothly with desired FPS. In HD station hitting the enter speeds playback from about 2fps till 7FPS but there is still no realtime playback (RAM PREVIEW).
