I do hope they straighten this out. I went with AJA due to their great reputation in the industry, but right now the Blackmagic card i used on my old system is looking pretty good…

Peter, do you have any insight as to why this huge delay? It’s extremely frustrating. The other day my boss was in my office viewing a commercial and I had to try to explain to him why the multi-thousand dollar machine we just bought can’t play video right.

It comes hyper-threaded, unbeknownst to me. It was a very pleasant surprise.
I just did a test using 1080p video from the 7d (using the prores codec). I had 10 of them scaled down to 25% and stacked running with no problem. It’s when you use a codec like the animation codec (which i render my AE files in) or add something like Magic Bullet Looks (which I use constantly) that it really drags more quickly.
I have a card reader to grab stuff off the CF card, yes. It’s a Kingston reader. Pretty cheap and can also read 4 other types of cards.
Oh yeah, the burner thing. Apparently the default for the dvd slot is a DVD-rom and I didn’t notice when I ordered. (who makes a DVD-rom player the standard default at this level of machine??) So I have to order a burner yet.
Also, if you need firewire you’ll need to buy a card for it. It’s little things like that that I would never think about which are standard on a Mac.Dell T76000 Dual 8-core 2.4 GHz

It’s quite the change, but it’s been smoother than I thought.
Pros:
– I’ve been really happy with Premiere overall. The speed and ease of switching has been great.
– I’ve got a dual 8-core machine that’s hyper-threaded so it’s 32 cores working! Crazy fast.
– I don’t know about the Z820 but the expansion possibilities on this dell is huge. You can install lots of extras (cards, etc) and more ram than you’ll ever need (I have 40 gb)
– Working with files natively in Premiere is so amazing. Have I mentioned it’s amazing? And also amazing as well?Cons:
– I’ve been having a lot of trouble with the AJA Lhe card. Still trying to work out the kinks.
– No ProRes. You can get a free decoder but you can’t encode easily. I’ve seen some stuff on here using ffmpeg but i haven’t messed around. I figure if I need it bad enough I can still access my mac on the table behind me.
– I shoot with the EX1 and there’s no free decoder for windows. You have to buy one from Calibrated for 150 bucks.
– Quicktime SUCKS on Windows. If I have to play any files to view them (like after I render in After Effects) I use VLC.I think having the quadro 5000 will be better than the 2000 I have. The Tesla card…honestly I’ve been having a tough time telling whether it was worth it or not, simply because I’m pulling most of my media over the network via a cat 5 cable (yes, I know, I know). I’m trying to remedy that situation because it’s a HUGE bottleneck right now as far as playing media on the timeline with effects on it. I’d really like to do more tests to see how much it’s actually doing but I really can’t find any documentation other than the super-nerdy “You can use this for your atom analyzing super-computer” stuff on NVIDIA.
Overall I’m pretty happy with it. If I can work out the stuff with the network and see how much this tesla card is actually doing I’d be happier.
Good luck!
P.S. I still miss my Mac.

Hi Peter
I did have 6.0.1 and just updated to 6.0.2.
I’m working with a variety of media such as mov files from a 7d, panasonic p2 footage (mxf), ex1 footage which is being decoded via Calibrated XD decode and rendered graphics using animation codec. Most of the time I’m using more than 1 on the same timeline. I’ve tried to start on individual clips with different formats but I have the same result with all of them.
I’m confused about your instruction on the 525 workaround. Are you talking about the premiere capture window? I couldn’t find what you were talking about.Dell T76000 Dual 8-core 2.4 GHz

What IS machina? I’m looking online and I see it but no clue what it really is.

Not sure since I have no clue what Machina is. I’ll check it out

As soon as I disabled the external monitor the problem disappeared. So it’s an Aja problem.

After messing around trying to isolate the problem I found out what it was. As soon as I turned off my external monitor (powered through AJA Kona LHe card) I had no problems. Not sure why it’s doing that but I need to figure it out.
I never had a problem with delay like that running my mac with the Blackmagic Decklink HD extreme card.
