5.1 or 7.1 soumd cards for Mac G5 10.4.11?

Hi
this seems like the best place to ask this question
can anyone recommend a 5 or 7.1 surround sound card for Mac, its just for playback
of films, not mixing, one that works without any grief and wont conflict with my Digi 002. er you know just regular domestic pci card thats half decent.
So no truck size rack mounted dolby decoders please.
Regards
James

the best value/quality is Motu Ultralite mk3
Firewire!!!
BUT, the PCI Motu options should be also great...
I'm talking about professional Audio Quality
there is also the V4HD
http://www.v4hd.com/
(great for Final Cut Studio users)
Motu devices comes with all professional connectors options at best possible price (value for quality).
Just my personal opinion

ATI 5770 1GB Video Card For Mac Pro dvi hdmi cable

I am sending video signal over a 50FT HDMI To DVI from my Mac Pro (3,1) via ATI 5770 1GB Video Card For Mac Pro (5.0 GT/s) (181062917108) and I cannot get a constant signal to my TV. The signal stays on for a few seconds or several hours or my TV (Samsung) says there is no signal or I get just a gray static screen.
I never had a problem before with my previous video card the 512MB nVidia GeForce 8800GT with a 25ft long cable. Any ideas people?

A cable of about 5 meters (16 ft) can be manufactured to Category 1 specifications easily and inexpensively by using 28 AWG (0.081 mm²) conductors.[114] With better quality construction and materials, including 24 AWG (0.205 mm²) conductors, an HDMI cable can reach lengths of up to 15 meters (49 ft).[114]

You may need a higher-quality cable or a lower resolution for your display to make this work without an HDMI Repeater.

"fire wire" video capture cards for mac pro

....Have Power Mac ver. 10.9.5 system Maverick w/ 4 MB RAM & am trying to locate hardware for:
acquiring "FIRE WIRE" video capture cards for mac pro.... ? Any suggestions....?(Just purchased Adobe CS 5 premium)

Your question doesn't make much sense.
What type of Mac Pro do you have? Is it the new black cylinder or the old style silver tower?
Firewire is built-in to the old models & the new Mac Pros can use Thunderbolt to Firewire converters to capture from Firewire sources.
Maybe like this http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD464ZM/A/apple-thunderbolt-to-firewire-adapte r
Many older cameras used Firewire for capturing, but that has been replaced by other connection types. What are you trying to capture from?

Suggest me a usb sound card for mac mini

please suggest me a usb sound card for mac mini (i need 5.1 sound)

The Griffin Technology FireWave will give you the 3 'cables' ("FireWave outputs six channel audio through three 1/8” (3.5mm) stereo mini-jacks: Left/Right, Center/Subwoofer and Right Surround/Left Surround.") connection for surround sound (speakers) audio. Whether or not a particular headphone set is compatible, you might ask Griffin directly about that. If you're playing a DVD with VLC or the Apple DVD Player, you will get surround sound. But, you'd have to find an MP3 with multi-channel audio inside it to play surround sound out of iTunes.

CC 2014 and GTX 680 Graphics Card for Mac

I am using a NVIDA GTX 680 card for Mac and with Premiere CC and I can use the Mercury Engine with Cuda. I am running a Mac Pro 12 Core with OS 10.8.5. When I launched CC 2014 it told me to update the Cuda drivers for my card otherwise Premiere could not access the Cuda drivers. Question I have is does anyone know the driver numbers I need to have and do I have to upgrade to Mavericks to take advantage of the drivers. Once these drivers are installed will it interfere with using Cuda in Premiere CC?
Thanks
Mike

Yes, Premiere Pro CC adds full GPU acceleration certification for the GeForce GTX 680 on Mac.

Any recommendations for a new Graphics card for Mac Pro?

Any recommendations for a new Graphics card for mac pro edit in Premiere 2014 and I need to have output to a monitor my current graphics card is ATI Radeon HD Graphics 5870 1024 MB I find better for what I need?

It's that last sentence I'm curious about. "However a MacPro already has much more capability already built in than Thunderbolt can add."
I'm thinking of getting a Mac Pro, but see that it doesn't seem to have Thunderbolt. I'm not sure if I care. The reason for the Mac Pro is that I'm topping out my 8gb RAM 27" iMac capacity with the volume of work going through it, and my tech tells me I'm pushing it too hard. I use it to run a small law office, but usually have about 15 apps open, with lots going on in the network in the background.
Is there any reason to wait until Apple puts Thunderbolt into the Mac Pro?
Thunderbolt will not increase the performance capability of the MacPro. It will add a bus that can be convenient, especially later on when Thunderbolt devices become more common, more mature and better supported - oh, and with more common will come less costly. From a pure performance standpoint the existing PCIe slots are much more capable and cheaper to implement. You would be giving up nothing with a current MacPro.
My opinion. Thunderbolt is really a great move forward in the long run - needed something to replace Firewire and this is it. But there is no reason to wait on Thunderbolt on MacPro - it is redundant.

Good capture cards for Mac?

Does anyone know of capture cards for Mac that work well for FMLE?
The list of tested cards in the Device Compatability Matrix only appear to be for Windows.
I see discussions about the Blackmagic cards, for example, that indicate those have problems in many situations.
Any tips are much appreciated.
Thanks,

Thanks! And the Canopus ADVC 110 is also external via firewire, which is
even better.
Cheers,

Raid cards for mac pro 2.66

i would like to set up a hardware card for my os as raid 0
(2 10,000 rpm hard drives)
and a hardware raid 1 for my data.(same/separate card ??)
are there any sudgestions on makes and models and compatability?
i am aware of the software raids provided by the os, i've heard they are not as reliable and fast as the harware solution, agree, disagree???

Yeah they say the software raid is good and I can't say first hand but I have heard good reports. In general I prefer hardware RAID but i setup server not clients so. Was using acard.com stuff for a bit but there offerings have gone down on the mac side. My current card of choice is Highpoint's Rocket RAID.
http://www.highpoint-tech.com/
Card works good and drivers all appear to be up-to-date with Intel based Mac's now. Nice web-GUI to the Raid controller. My only complaint could be OS related as opposed to driver but the Hot-Swap won't work right. In order for me to swap i need to drop the drives from the server and pull them. (alarms alarms, lol) Then put my swaps in. Seems the release call from the web-GUI does not kick the drive out right or the Mac OS won't let go of them even after un-mounting.

I am trying to find out the proper graphic card for mac.

TV tuner Card for Mac with Component input

Hey everyone, I was hoping someone could help me find a good TV Tuner card for my MacBook. I found a few potentials, however I've yet to find one with Component input that would allow me to play my XBox 360 at a resolution of 1050p. This is the resolution of my stand-alone monitor, and with S-Video the resolution would drop into the 400's. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Sean

Does this work with a Mac? Looks like from the screenshots this is only compatible with Vista
I'm also looking for something that also has a coaxle input along with the component input, so that I can watch TV!

TV Tuner card for MAC

Can anyone suggest the right tuner card for my iMac that will allow me to access my fios TV service on my computer?
Thanks!

Are you looking for a tuner that lets you watch local programming without a cable box? Or are you wanting to watch all the channels that you are subscribed to?
If you are just wanting local channels. Then Items like these are likely what you are looking for.
If you want all the channels the Verizon provides, you will need to connect a STB to your computer. You will need something like this to link a STB to your computer.

Raid 5 Card for Mac Pro

Hello all!
I am a video editor and am currently building my own system out.. I am on my last step of upgrades now and I need to build a RAID. At work we have the huge fiber channel RAID 5's, but this is for my personal use. So what I want to do is get the High-Point Rocket 2310 card and create and internal RAID 5. I just hate having backup procedures so I think this will offer me exactly what I need. But I just can't figure out how people hook these things up????? I have all 4 drive bays maxed out with 1TB drives. I want to put 3 of them on the card but I don't see how I can connect them to the back of the card via a sata cable if they "plug" into the slots on the mac pro. How do I connect these 3 drives to the card?? I just can't find out anywhere online Does the Raid card access the drives through the PCI slot?? any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.. Thanks all!

Hi,
I cannot recommend using an internal RAID 5. The reason is that it will provide slow performance and limit the expansion capability of the RAID 5 volume and the Mac Pro.
While RAID 5 adds redundancy, there is no guarantee that the volume can be rebuilt. You still will need to backup any important data. If you thought that RAID 5 eliminates the need for a backup you will not be happy when the RAID 5 volume cannot be rebuilt and all of your data is lost.
The problem with a three drive RAID 5 is that one disk is used for parity data. This only leaves the space of two disks for creating the volume. Even if three 1TB HDs are used you are limited to approx. 1.8TB with a three disk RAID 5 and the performance is limited to a dual drive RAID 0. If your requirements are this meager you will be better off with a dual drive RAID 0 and a SuperDuper Backup disk in bay three. This will provide higher redundancy and is much cheaper.
If you really want a RAID 5 configuration, I would use an external solution which can provide room for expansion and much higher performance. This setup allows the internal Mac Pro bays to be used for Mac OS X, Boot Camp, importing data and backing up data. While the external enclosure supports the RAID 5 volume.
The setup I like for an external RAID 5 solution is the FirmTek SeriTek/5PM enclosure used with the HighPoint RR2314. This provides a five disk RAID 5 solution that has a small foot print, quiet operation and a high quality enclosure. You can read more about it here:
http://www.amug.org/amug-web/html/amug/reviews/articles/firmtek/5pm/
http://www.firmtek.com/seritek/seritek-5pm/
http://www.amug.org/amug-web/html/amug/reviews/articles/highpoint/2314/
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000NAXGIU/arizomacinusergr
If you do not mind spending more you could configure a RAID 6 ARC-1680ix-12 configuration using the information found in this AMUG article:
http://www.amug.org/amug-web/html/amug/reviews/articles/areca/1680ix12/
However, if you are looking for a high quality RAID 5 solution that is reasonably priced I find the SeriTek/5PM and the RR2314 are an excellent choice.
Have fun!

Best graphics card for Mac Pro Early 2008?

I have a Mac Pro Early 2008 with the default graphics card (ATI Radeon HD 2600), and would like to make an upgrade to a better graphics card that will run games smoothly. I'm not an expert with computers at all, but all I know is I would like to buy a graphics card for around $200-$300 (If it's more expensive then that's ok, but preferrably this price range) that will get me the best performance possible. I play games like Minecraft, Skyrim, and Team Fortress 2. Thank you for any help/recommendations you can provide!
Also, I wasn't sure which section to post this in, but feel free to move this thread.

Also, to provide more information (not sure if needed), I have dual monitors and the following specs:
Processor 2 x 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Memory 16 GB 667 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM
Graphics ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 256 MB
My two displays are LG ULTRAWIDE Display (2560 x 1080) and LED Cinema Display (24-inch, Late 2008, 1920 x 1200)
