What's the problem there ?

Why I can't see mix previews ?

only works for keystone and curved mixes for now.

Hey Richard,

Would you be willing to conduct testing for the Macbook Pro using m150 the same way you did it on the 2.66 quad and 3Gb 8-core using the Mtron?

what do you mean? dont quite understand

m147 -Preliminary tests on 8Core Mac Pro3.0Ghz with MTRON 32GB SSD Internal 3.5Inch. x1900 4GB ram.

Apple intermediate codec

512x512 14 layers @ 25fps
640x480 14 layers @ 25fps
720x486 14 layers @ 25fps
720x576 14 Layers @ 25fps
768x576 14 layers @ 25fps
800x600 14 layers @ 25fps
1024x768 10 layers @ 25fps
1280x720 9 layers @ 25fps
1440x1080 8 layers @ 25fps
1920x1080 7 layers @ 25fps
2048x1080 7 layers @ 25fps
3072x768 5 layers @ 25fps
4096x2048 1 layer @ 25fps

The avantage of MTRON over rotating discs - is that there are no dropped frames.
And this performance is consistent over every file - regardless of capacity or size of file or disc free space

Richard,

You conducted extensive testing in this other thread showing frame rate and ultimately spit out results for different resolutions. I was eagerly hoping you would do the same for your Macbook Pro and publish them for us.

I am interested in knowing how many layers I could run of DV, PhotoJPG, and Apple Intermediate Codec on a Macbook Pro as a single output and then also using a DualHead2Go or TripleHead2Go on a Macbook Pro.

there are rather a lot of different models of mac book pro's!
with different firewire ports and configurations and bus speeds- and different graphics options.
they dont have anywhere near the bus bandwidth or graphics power of desktop machines-

with laptops you have to use a different strategy - begin with very low expectations and move upwards if it works.

do you have a mac book pro yourself?

Hi chers.
I tested FOLSOM/BARCO IMAGE PRO SD (standard definition)with:
powerpoint 1024 x 768 presentation on PC Laptop in VGA mode in
and SDI output,connected to black magic Extreme HD of my Catalyst.

Working fine at best resolution.
You need to select "INTERLACE OFF" in the HUD input control panel,
relatively to the input are you using.

This features is good during "CONVENTION" where people to use
POWERPOINT presentation.
On wednesday il will check the same test using

FOLSOM/BARCO IMAGE PRO HD (high definition)
to import high resolution POWERPOINT presentation.

Thanks Richard

You could of course try a Decklink Intensity...
Get a display capable of displaying 720p60 or an Image Pro HD, program a DVI detective with the EDID information. Plug it into your laptop, and plug a DVI to HDMI cable to connect the output of the DVI detective to go into the Decklink Intensity. Set Catalyst Video Input to look at the Decklink Intensity at 720p60 and off you go... No deinterlacing required (which effectively reduces the resolution), and RGB...

Just a thought...

The Intensity absolutely KILLS performance and reduces framrates by half. I wouldn't go this route.

The Decklink Extreme HD is now the only option for mac pros (895USD)

no it doesnt kill performance - its the nvidia 7300 that does this- like i said. the nvidia 7300 is really stretched doing mulitple outputs.

i have had to replace several with x1900 on shows.

it works fine with x1900. it works fine doing 1080i providing you are not trying to do to many other things at the same time

video input REQUIRES careful consideration of playback, and conservative operation.


you need to replace your 7300.
