I’d like to add my vote for 1920×1080 output so I can send the scopes around the house via HDSDI (via a Studio Videohub of course).

Hey Jon
Any more details for those of us unable to attend NAB? A link on your site for instance?

Hey Luke!
So, does that mean we need a dedicated machine to run Ultra Scope? If so, is it possible to run more than one Ultra Scope in a given PC? It uses a 1x slot. Can we have 2 or more US cards in various slots and run it to all suites or would we have just the one US card and switch from suite to suite?
Cheers

Phew. Five years and all I had to do was post a support request;-) Can’t complain about the proactive approach to that.
Any ideas about the problem guys?

Hey Zane. Sorry if I haven’t made myself clear.
As I said in my original post, it’s an LSI fibre card. That’s the Apple unit (they’re made by LSI). The fact that it comes up in System Profiler as LSI and not Apple means it’s a very early one – so your first reply could well be absolutely right but I’d be very disappointed if Apple stopped supporting their own cards (not beyond them though for sure).
I also mentioned that it works fine under 10.5 until I do the Quicktime updater. So there is a clash there somewhere. There is a fibre card update for use with the pro apps but it seems to make no difference to my configuration.
There is, of course, the possibility that Quicktime is actually clashing with the firmware on the XRAID and it’s not the card at all.
I’m working through it but as OSX doesn’t have Window’s handy ability to regress to the previous working system state (guess they had to get something right) I’m currently having to do fresh installs each time to test and that takes over three hours and the suite doesn’t have that much downtime. As it’s a working suite I can’t risk running updaters on the card or the RAID that may affect compatibility with 10.4xx and that’s a limitation too.
At this rate it could take me weeks to solve if I’m just taking shots in the dark so I’m just wondering if somebody else may have come up against a similar issue and maybe they might have a suggestion of where they looked to sort it.
Thanks again.

LOL! Well. yes, I was kinda looking for something more in the way of a solution than the dreaded “it won’t work mate” answer. Thanks for the post though:-))

Hey David, glad to hear it’s not just me! But even happier to hear its a FCP thing not Mac so my journey back to Avid will achieve what I hope.
Hardly touched the mouse in MC after starting on LightWorks. Can’t wait to get back on MC. Thanks mate.

OK, I’ll take that as a “no”. 🙂

Or just stay with DVI and get an even cheaper monitor. As soon as you free yourself from grading duties all this opens up.
Great chatting with you. See you over on RedUser!

This gets me thinking…
Given that without a Mojo the full screen monitor has that odd synch bar and can’t work for grading, I wonder if the BMD Intensity and a HDMI 1920×1200 screen like the Samsung 2493HM might work as well?
Don’t know if that product actually supports the extended desktop… Might be time I had a coffee with the guys from BMD.
