December 2, 2005 at 4:39 pm in reply to: Extreme PCIe – Dualcore Setup not getting it’s full power!I’m pretty sure it is a premier pro issue, i’ve got two xeon nocona processors in my system with hyperthreading so It looks like 4 processors, and even when rendering heavy effects in premiere I rarely get above 25% cpu load. I’m not sure if it is because of multithreading, multiple processors, or perhaps the windows CPU monitor doesn’t calculate load correctly, but this is normal. I have no idea if it is a true measure of performance or not.

Thanks for all the info guys. I’m going to try the card, i’ll post if there are any problems.

I don’t know if it can be done in real time. I’ve been removing pulldown in after effects. Interpret the captured shot to identify the pulldown, then do a timestretch of 80% and you’ll output at 29.97 video with all the dummy frames removed. Then import that clip into the editor and interperet it to play back at 24. It is a real pain but works.

Is there a “best” way to convert 720p to 1080i in windows. The obvious way would be to scale up the 720p within a 1080i project, but is there a best way to do this?

Great. I guess I should have read the fine print. Several months ago when I bought the card the decklink website listed the only difference between the Decklink HD Pro single and dual link cards as the ability to do dual link.

I don’t know when they will release it, but you might email support@supermicro.com and ask them to send the beta to you. I bet they would do it.

I had the same problem with 1.2c bios. Supermicro tech support is working on it, just today they sent me a beta bios for the x6dae-g2 that fixes the problem. I’m sure they will have a new release version soon so keep your eyes on their website.
On my system when I first set it up I dropped frames quite a bit, but solved it by turning all the memory error checking options in the bios off, this almost doubled the memory benchmark test and it is much more stable now.

Great way to get around the limitations. I’m going to try it.
Thanks!

I’ve got the same problem with after effects. It doesn’t happen a lot, but it still freezes the system occasionally. I have the ram ECC error correction turned off (you do this in the BIOS of your motherboard) so that isn’t the culprit. However, I did have playback problems from Premiere with the ECC turned on, so I’d still recomend turning it off.
My system is a dual 3ghz Xeon Nocona (the new chips with 800mhz bus and EMT64 extensions) on a Supermicro motherboard and 2gigs ram. I wonder if doubling the ram to 4gigs would fix the problem.

May 12, 2005 at 3:55 am in reply to: Building a workstation – question about pci-x for decklink hdYou might wait a month and get a new dual core processor and motherboard(intel and amd just released them, the amd is faster but i don’t know if blackmagic approves of AMD chips), it will be faster and cheaper, or at least the same price.
