Thread: working configuration of catalyst server, need tip

  1. #11
    on GTX285 same things as on D700, both 2.5k@60Hz and second had 4k@25Hz (and it work normally), I update previous post , for now I am testing with multiply outputs 30Hz + 60Hz from d700 with output on datapath at 50Hz

    we believe from testing that the new mac pro do not like mixed up refresh rates -

    that does not mean gtx 285 is better -

    it means different setups require different considerations to make them work correctly-

    new mac pro might require - exact same refresh rates for best performance - and that means checking EDID from monitors

    you know which physical display outputs you connected monitors to?
    you aware of the physical ordering of the thunderbolt busses?

    ofc I put a link at few thread below. I finish for today, but now I got headache with my job I need to take big resolution 'cause I have many layers and presets, and its possible with 60Hz. But all camera work on 50Hz shutter and 50Hz current frequency. I am going to sleep...

    50Hz- you got to make everything work at exactly that?

    you need 50Hz outputs- in europe - everything needs to be 25/50

    thats why we are testing 6 outputs at dvi 1080p50 from new mac pro- n541 build
    all exact same refresh rate -

    no datapath - all monitors exactly the same- you need active mini display port adaptors to dvi - unpowered - to do this

    if you need 25/50 -
    you should try this option

    lots of monitors don't support EDID for 1080p50 - i have lots of monitors that don't - i have to replace them with ones that do
    we had another recent thread about the correct EDID to do this-

    your content:

    from your pdf - you convert most things to AIC - and most files are normal SD resolutions 720x480 etc

    dont convert using catalyst - it doesnt work with h264/mpeg type codecs - and doesnt do frame rate conversions

    use one of the batch convertors out there like apples compressor - or episode - or others

    use apple prores codecs - not AIC

    there are 5 different ones

    proxy - faster than AIC
    LT - about same as AIC
    422 - slower than AIC
    422HQ - high quality - much slower than AIC
    4444 - super high quality - much much slower than AIC

    prores codecs dont use any interframe compression like h264 - and work very well -

    thanks for tips, staying, from now I will convert all in proress codec, but still a problem with crash when doing periodically a - s - a actions.

    And what means color bars in stats hud in stats1 tab near draw mp etc. red green and violet (sometimes violet bar goes to 100% and all freeze for a 5-10 seconds.)

    Also sometimes when trying to save all preference now it would hang on colors stage...

    please do pdf profile in catalyst -
    your problems may be unique to your specific system -
    and not seen or reported by anyone else - this is very often the case

    and run etrecheck - to see what stuff you got installed

    you using mac OS x- very close to initial release of the mac pro 6.1 - 10.9.2 - you not upgrade to last one -10.9.5?

    you have firewall in mac os turned on?
    thats your network connection issue-

    your hp display is using the display port connection - and not responding with any screen EDID- and no valid screen refresh values - ( your catalyst crash at startup was when screen reported no EDID ) - it have a dvi port?

    the catalyst safenet dongle driver is crashing all the time- not my software - but 3rd party

    try installing latest version-
    http://sentinelcustomer.safenet-inc....HL&o=all&t=all
    Sentinel HASP/LDK Mac OS X Run-time GUI Installation

    -

    you mixing display port with dvi-
    x4 at 3840x2160 30Hz - with 2560x1600 unknownHz
    you not try to use all same outputs at 1920x1080@50Hz ?- i thought this was your show requirement?

    like i suggested before? so you get 25/50 on all outputs all at same size and refresh?

    i do not believe the x4 can do correct EDID and refresh for exact frequencies at this resolution at either 25Hz or 30Hz
