are any of these tests being done on a base model? If not what are the machine specs? Thanks

Please post back if you have any info on capture with an external chassis, I would be very interested to know what seems to work.

Hi ajmaudio, my tests were done on a "maxed out" Mac Pro (i.e. with all upgrades possible from the Apple Store online)

New Mac Pro users may be interested in this by the way: http://www.tuaw.com/2014/03/27/a-rac...march-27-2014/

Ok.. thanks for that... now hopefully someone has tested a lower powered config... interested to see the difference. Also.. did you run your OS and content of of the same internal drive? If so did you partition it? If not what did you do. Thanks!

I am actually a tad shocked at the performance you guys are getting... wonder where all this extra throughput is coming from..

People need to try the prores codecs

Prores proxy is fastest
Prores lt about same as AIC

-

I made no graphics changes for mavericks or new Mac Pro
Same code runs on 10.6 - 10.9
Performance all comes from apple hardware and software

New mac pro Internal ssd is about 6 times faster than old Mac Pro discs


Os Performance has increased gradually since 10.6

[ajmaudio]

how doe proxy compare to say AIC in quality

[samsc]

You should test - see if you can see any difference

All codecs quality depends on content

I always edit using prores proxy files - as it's the fastest on laptops

Testing with a Base model Mac Pro3.7GHz quad-core with 10MB of L3 cache
12GB (3x4GB) of 1866MHz DDR3 ECC
256GB PCIe-based flash storage
Dual AMD FirePro D300 GPUs with 2GB of GDDR5 VRAM each
Appears very stable running 16 streams of HD and 1 4k - before I had any frame rates drop below 25fps.
I need some help on how I might be able to hook up more than 2 outputs.
Cheers
Michael

A future version will support more outputs- when we figure out what the limits are in new mac pro

Just to be clear.. that was 16 HD streams and a $k stream at the same time? what codec? Bitrate? Thanks for postin gthis
