Hey Charles –
The deal with mixing in the cubix in my experience is that because your sharing one PCIe slot the net result is the cards what ever the mix run at the speed and performance of the slowest card.
[Charles Haine] “Could I get away with 580’s in the Cubix with the 570 internal and Da Vinci will use all of them?”
You’ll have the same problem essentially – the GPU processing chain will in my experience be based of the slower card -doesn’t matter where they reside. However, slightly modified from what your saying is pull the GT 120 which is essentially what I’ve done in our systems. We have 3X 580s in the cubix boxes +RR and I run GTX 285 cause we had a few of them as GUI. In a Mac I don’t see a better option at the moment. I can toss pretty much anything at it. Still chokes a bit at 5k but 99 precent of my work is 1080 with a good mix of 1080 S3D jobs. System has been rock solid.
The other issue to consider an I’m assuming your on a mac pro – is that if you put that cubix card in the proper 16x slot you loose that for the 570 you haves that card will run even slooooooower with the cubix. I think what I’d do is pull the 570 in the second box when attaching the cubix (and thus the 16x cubix card) and put it back when your done with cubix.

+1 on this. There are lots of things to be desired on the Ultrascopes. I sold a set of Omniteks because I was using about 10% of what they could do and while I haven’t been hugely disappointed the omniteks were obviously better. I really like the ultrascopes but I bar, flexible views, true gamut scope (i.e tek diamond/harris eye) are some of my requests.

after applying the primary grade create a new version on the other clips – the additional clips will have the original primary grade but now you’ll be able to apply secondaries to each one of the “instances” of the clip separately with out the linked behavior your seeing.

In my opinion software can’t be everything to everyone. Peter, Rohit and the rest of the of the team have done an AMAZING job. Truly I don’t know when these guys have down time. Can the product improve – yes and I know this team is doing that every day.

yep I’ve had mine replaced. Also the glue around the surround plastic (the part around the actual keys) comes unglued from time to time.

[Jonathan Tremblay] “The first issue was that no database was installed… So I did the trick to remove the Software, remove PostgreSQL 8.4…”
8.2 required a database upgrade – did you get database not connected or no database? If not connected all you needed to do (to late at this point) was connect and then upgrade your old database. If no database just create a new one.

I’m interested in this to Ola. We lease our machines and those leases are up in May for our Mac Pro’s. Luckily we already have a couple Cubix Expanders but the computers them selves are getting long in the tooth.
Ola not sure of the SuperMicro where you are but it can get super pricey! Configured I had mine pushing 16k. This is the same box linux resolve is running from a lot of resellers.
Don’t know if you saw this but HP has updated the 800z (or about too) to the 820. Looks like a nice machine. But again configured you’re probably in the 10-12k range

are your clips all from the same source? This is normal behavior based on the way that Resolve links clips. Simply right click on a clip and chose batch unlink…the issue should disappear.
