wow, that is a lot of screen space, and I though I had a lot! I would love to hear more about what you produce on that system and where it is.
ha ha, yes no brain but big screens :-)
I am located in Copenhagen Denmark, and mainly do FCP editing.
I have been in TV for 22 year now, and have done FCP since version beta 0.8 ( is Apple Certified Trainer)
I do everything from broadcast television, over commercials to cooperate videos, at the most I direct as well, and then cutting my own footage.
On the picture u cant see it, but in my machine room there is a nice aircon mounted, so all the gear is always 21°, equals great performance
Mester,
Great setup, lots of real estate.
Quick question for you. About a month ago Apple released a pro apps document stating that FCP or FCS
does not work properly with 2 graphics cards installed.
Are you having any problems, do you have any suggestions on how this works for you?
I never had any problems in that one, I use ATI Radeon1900 with dual output, and some I use the one 30" display as video monitor, works great, even in 1080P :-)
But I don’t se how you can any benefits out of having 2 cards, I don’t see any possibility to use more than one screen from FCS?
So you can't run the second 30 inch display at its native resolution of 2560 X 1600?
do u mean from FCP?
boths my display runs 2500x1600
I mean from the ATI Radeon 1900.
I didn't know the ATI Radeon 1900 supports 2-30 inch displays at their native resolution.
This means it is dual-dual link?
When you use the second 30 inch display as a monitor do you set the resolution to 1920 X 1080?
Thanks for the info.
There are only two options from FCP, Digital Cinema Desktop full screen or Raw.
When it goes in full screen, it use 2500x1600, and if the material is 1080P its about ok, but only for editing, for color grade I change for raw, and it blackout the rest off the screen.
Also from Motion u can use is as a video monitor, I rarely do, but I work.
Furthermore at the time when I had the machine, the standard graphic cards was 256mb, and it was the same then, I did the upgrade to a 512mb card, because of the rendering benefits in Motion increase’s a lot with more GPU power ☺
a pine air freshener! ... nice touch!
