Some time ago Dell announced the new 5K ultrasharps. I’m almost sure they use the same panels, so both models must be near.

Robben, being from Argentina watching him playing scared me a lot.

What Julian Bowman said above. Either you get it and love it, or you don’t have a clue what’s going on.

Sensors tend to get hot at HFR recording, maybe watercooling is there to let the camera reach 60fps or something. I’m all in for new cameras, I liked the BM and AJA, but then I stopped and think, I still have my Red One MX, it is still a great cam, and you can find them used really cheap. Good movies were made with those, reliable workflows were established.
I know 4K looks like the new thing, but it was there from 2008 at least.
As excited as I was with those two cameras, I decided to keep my Red One MX, waiting for Dragon update with my Epic and seriously thinking about an Arri Amira, though I keep hearing good things about the Sony F55, but for my conservative clients, Arri will always be Arri. Tough choice.
Lenses: Canon cine primes and Compact primes are really still lenses cine moded, they are really overpriced for me, and EF mount is restrictive. If you want “cheap” lenses for video work, check the new Schneiders Cine Xenon, made for video and fullframe, wich makes them future proof of bigger sensors, and they are all T2.1 with a consistent look between all of them. I will sell my beloved Red Primes to get a set of Schneiders. I am planing to buy the new Leicas Summicron C also, way expensive, but lenses don’t loose value over time, cameras do, faster than ever. So, if you want to invest safely, buy good lenses and cameras you know you will recover the purchase cost sooner than later.

I am using Miraizon with great results, it works great with everything but Da Vinci. I’ve tested it with Adobe CC, Redcine X and Scratch 7. I don’t find it that slow though. It’s like any other codec, no hussle, no trouble at all.

[Herb Sevush] “[Bret Williams] “For example, if you render a section, then make a bunch of changes, but then decide to change even just a portion of something back to a previously rendered state, then X will simply return it to rendered. This was absolutely not possible in legacy, nor any other NLE I’ve seen.””
If I understand well what you are saying, PPro CC works in the same way.

[Chris Harlan] “FYI–the studio is probably Warner Bros. and the movie is probably Focus. I don’t have any inside knowledge, but that’s what the clues point to.”
You must be right, they’ve been here in Argentina. A friend of mine worked in the art department, and some friends worked in the grip department.

I think i heard Argentina (My country) in his speech, but couldn’t figure out in what context.
I really don’t know the guy, but he is really selling everything as the next revolution in the world, but please, those Seiki monitors are crap, 30hz refresh rate at UHD is useless, for a bit more, buy a Dell 24″ Ultrasharp.
He sounds really exagerated, like speaking to elder people in a retirment home, he describes the MacPro as a nuclear reactor!!!! Editing on a laptop!!! I really don’t know what he is doing there, but he sounds like a used cars seller.

Actually, you can build PCs with 24 cores, 512GB of RAM, etc… For a lot of money, of course.
The Mac Pro is a turnkey solution to specific needs, like OSX and FCPX. That’s what makes it attractive to a lot of people.Santiago MartÃ

I don’t think there is a market for small workstations besides the Mac Pro. The closest thing in the PC side could be the HP Z1, but it’s more like an iMac with workstation components. Really, a workstation with Xeon procs and dual GPU, or quad if you want, is not a new thing.
Of course you can build a small case with that inside, except for the TB2 ports, but for many people the size of the workstation doesn’t matter, at least in my case.
The MacPro is cheap actually. If you like OSX and FCPX then it is your best choice, maybe the only one. A PC with similar components should have similar performance, really.
Personally I don’t like Firepro drivers, I prefer Quadro’s, I also prefer Cuda to Open CL, but then again I’m mostly a PC guy using Adobe CC. I find the new MacPro a good option at a good price, but I want dual Titan’s on my next workstation and dual CPU’s too, with more than 64Gbs of ram, so the new Mac Pro it’s not an option for me. I know the Titan is not a workstation card per se, but the raw power at that price is unbeatable.
The Mac Pro will have a decent performance, but it will not replace a big iron workstation. I think it’s performance will be good for it’s price and for many many people that will be enough. If you want more, you will pay more at HP or Dell or pay more or less the same and build a machine designed exclusively for your needs.
