How much longer till Cat 4.06 is no longer beta? I have used it twice in the last two months fort image blending and am just curious when it will be released through high end?
You will have to ask HES what they are doing.
Hi Richard.
at start next week i will start test with DECKLINK HD ESTREME and
5 HD's EXTERNAL RAID to storage HD image.
I need to capture live too,on CATV4 in HD mode.
Can you give me some suggestion or i can start test without
special configuration???
I speak about CAT conf. not not video card conf.
I let you know.
thanks.
how do you connect the external Driver Raid to the Mac ?Quote:

Ciao Emiliano.
Hi use MAC PRO 4x2.66 XEON CPU's
with a 4 Channel SATA II 3Gb/s controller and 2.5 Terabyte
External 5 Hard Driver Cabinet in RAID configuration.
I have another configuration:
teckout optical driver and in this location i have installed
adapter for 3 hard driver 500 Gb in SATA II 3Gb/s RAID to storage
uncompressed video files or HD image.
with this configuration you can have 7 Hard driver inside your MAC PRO.
3 HD's in SATA II RAID 3x500 Gb with fast R/W time.
4 Single HD's SATA II on stand. slot. 4x500 Gb with personal lybrary each
in this way you can play multiple video files simoultanuosly.
I'm wait for you visit when you want :D

i do not and cannot test configurations of multiple disc systems - there are just too many different types.
And in general i would only ever suggest 2 things work - XServe RAID ( agressive caching ), and single fast 15000rpm scsi discs.

Everything else is up to you to - and dont expect miracles.
almost all of these discs systems work very very badly with random access files. meaning they dont work better than a single disc.

The remaining performance issue is slow small random read speeds for one, two, three or four drives. No matter how many drives you configure in RAID 0 sets, the average random read speed for combined block sizes from 64K to 1024K is less than 30MB/s!
OK Richard.
I let you know.

what is the priority for you?Quote:

with triplehead2go and multiple output on CATV4.
In my office i have many HD systems like VIDEOCAMERAS and
SPECIAL HARDDRIVER to storage HD FILM/VIDEO and IMAGES,
is not impossible to test HD for me,is only time problem:D
We haved a show in TORINO last SATURDAY and we use 1,2 Terabyte
movies and images high resolution in uncompressed files(choice of customer).
We solve using more hard driver to play movies simultanuosly,for this
i'm organizzing my MAC PRO CatV4 DEMO unit with A MULTIPLE RAID
HARD DRIVE internal/external system(i'm testing both).
At moment my priority is to have a special configuration to have
8 videoprojector in soft hedge and keystoned.
the image must to be one using 8 orizzontal videoprojector.
You will reiceved details from HES rappresentant RUDIGER,was with me during
my DEMO to the customer.
I know we can use 2048x2048 max image size (OPENGL).
My idea is:
Use 2 MAC PRO CatV4 to have 4 output.
Use 4 for dualhead2go to became 8 output, 8 for 800x600 resolution .
Use 4 mixes each CatV4 for a total of 8 mixes (1 mixes each output).
Use X offset each mixes.
Use blending right/left where is necessary.
Use Keystone where is necessary.
I think is possible to use 4 image files of 1600x600,for a total screen
of 6400 x 600 image.
in order to use movie files i will put the files in 4 different hard driver and
i will use Sink ID to sincronize both files on 2 MAC.
How do you think about this configuration????
Please let me know if we can to do in different mode.
thanks

i used a configuration very similar from what you described, but I used 6 projectors in a row.. I did use 2 triple Heads and 2 Catalysts to do it.
So 1 Catalyst and 1 Triple Head gows to 3 projectors, and the same on the second CAT. each one with 2400 x 800. SYNC IDs on the Layers and all went thru OK.
The total of the Image was 4800 x 800, the only issue is you need to make a movie on that configuration.
We toth was too Big, to play on Catalyst, so the guys made a Video of 1600 x 800, and the image inside the Video was squeezed, when I placed in Catalyst, using Aspect Ratio, I did Stretch the image to the above format.
i know is not the best, but work out OK.
Also we used some content making like 3/ 4 layers each time, cloning some etc...
Gian
Yes is very similar,but i need to know if X Offset can allocate
8 orizzontal mixes and specially if i will not problem to blending
both MAC PRO.
At moment we are to selled all CATv4 and i'm waiting 2 new cat server
from HES.For this i'm impossibilitate to test this configuration.
I hope reiceve my catv4 servers very soon.:D

You can allocate an offset up to a factor of 10 so you should be able to do 2 servers x 4 outputs as one image easily. One server will be minus offsets to the left and the other positive offsets to the right. That way the centre of the image will be located at the join between Projectors 4 & 5.
The main thing will be running a network so you can sync one server to the other.
Cheers
Toby
The X OffSet is not a problem like tharding said,....
You shure just goes up to 10 ? You saw is a CUSTOM option now right ? even with that just goes up to 10 ? I always used last than that so just curious.
SYNC is very important... Also the Content orgnize etc...
Just remember we are talking on the latest versions, like m97 what we are discussing here. The Officciel High End releases do not do that Offsets.
Regarding BLENDING NO PROBLEM and easy to set up and configure. On each submix you just set up a BLEND and will wor withy no Problems X - Y etc...
Regards
Gian
Thanks at all,i know very well this release :D ihaved worked fine using
2 for Triplehead2go and 6 mixes output on the same MAC PRO.
But is the first time i mast to work with 8 projector/mixes in one
orizzontal line.
This work is based in 8 big panel for 270° around the television studio.
I'm waiting the test files and when is possible i will attach some photos
of the test.
bye

At the downloads page on high End Systems, you will found... and I belive that is theier official release. We all are using BETAs, I don't know about HES support etc.. since we here are mostly autoditatas (self learning) people. I like test things, so I am very OK with that.

Last updated Nov. 2, 2006 with m50 build:
Catalyst v4.05 m50UB_HD Software [zip] 6MB
Note: Catalyst v4.05 m50UB_HD is a Universal Binary and requires a Universal Binary dongle driver. Also, it is not recommended for OS X before 10.4.6.
A little question about this release.
When i use keystone,i can move easily corner right top and bottom.
the corner left top i use key "shift" on keyboard to move it.
But i have difficulty to move corner left bottom because there is
the menu of HUB.
There is other key on keyboard to ease the movement for this corner??
Every suggest is wellcome.
@Richard
My dream is use mixes keystone and blending from consolle....
will see....i'm sure Richard is forward :D
thanks
