Does my new MacPro playback Sony F65 Raw 4K video in realtime?
Hi, All
I'm sorry, I don't know whether this is the right place to ask this question. I want to purchase
a MacPro to edit Sony F65's 4K Raw files with Premiere Pro CS6. I am not sure whether the MacPro
can playback the 4K Raw file in realtime. But I can not get any official information for the recommend hardware configuration.
The configuration of MacPro is as following:
MD771CH/A
CPU : dual 3.06GHz 6 core Intel Xeon processor
RAM: 32GB
1TB SATA
ATI Radeon HD 5770 , 1GB GDDR5 memory
GPU card: Quadro 4000 For Mac
Disk Array: PCIe array. Speed > 400MB/s, F65 Raw file bitrate is 1.9Gbps.
So, my question is that is this MacPro power enough to playback the 4K video in real-time? Can anybody help me to check it?
Best Regards.

A single track equates to around 240 MB/s, so theoretically you could play a single track in RT, but multiple tracks, no. Don't forget their is always overhead, so 400 MB/s sustained transfer rate is cutting it thin.

Does Lightroom 4.4 support Sony a6000 RAW files
Hello Group,
I have tried and tried to get my version of Lightroom 4.4 to read my RAW files from my new Sony a6000. I have updated my adobe programs and still have had no luck. Do I need a newer version of Lightroom? I am not sure if there is something I am doing wrong. I do not have any plug-in that I can see. I can see the files when I downloaded the files to my MAC but I would like to open in Lightroom. Please help!
Thank youYou need version 5.4 minimum, current version of LR is 5.7.1. Alternatively you could convert (outside LR) the RAW files to DNG files using the Adobe DNG converter and import them into LR.

Does the new iPhoto for iPad support Raw-Files?
Can I edit Photos, which I have imported from my Camera in RAW Format?
When you import a RAW image to your iPad, iPhoto will display only the JPEG version of the image embedded in the RAW file. When editing a RAW image in iPhoto, the edits are derived from the embedded JPEG, and saved in JPEG format.

Roll back from OS X Mavericks ( or any newer OS) to Mountain Lion on new MacPro
I need to know if it is possible to back rev or roll back on the new MacPro or iMac?
Working with video production applications (Avid) would like to get new hardware platform and that would require Montain Lion for the short term with the intention of moving back to Mavericks assuming that is also possible with the same licesense?
Final question does anybody know if there are issues with Thunderbolt through this roll back process?If a Mac ships with a new OS shortly after its release, it is sometimes possible for it to boot with the previous OS; however, if the Mac has new hardware, it likely has a special build of the new OS to take advantage of the new hardware and it will not boot with the older OS.
Sorry I cannot provide specifics. You'll have to find someone who has done it (or tried). -
Lightroom v. 3.6 and Sony A99 RAW does not match
I recently bought the newest Sony A99 camera, but it seems L.v. 3.6 does not manage this (aparently new) type of RAW-pictures.
Do I have to buy the L.v.4 or can I use v. 3.6 with changing some settings?
Thank youHello mJim,
It works. Thank you for your help.

I need to do live streaming with a Mac Book Pro 2011, using a new model of Sony HD camcorder (http://store.sony.co...ber=HDRAX2000/H) ..this camcorder model does not have firewire out/input ..it comes only with a component video output, USB, HDMI and composite A/V video output..
I wonder how can I plug this camcorder to the firewire port of my laptop? Browsing on internet I found that Grass Valley Company produces this converter http://www.amazon.co...=A17MC6HOH9AVE6 ..but I am not sure -not even after checking the amazon reviews- if this device will send the video signal through firewire to my laptop, in order to live streaming properly? ..anyone in this forum could help me please?
ThanxI can't broadcast with the built in iSight webcam... how would I zoom in or zoom out? or how would I pan? I've seem people doing it walking with their laptops but that's not an option for me... there's nothing wrong with my USB ports but that's neither an option to stream video because as far as I know through USB you can't connect video in apple operating systems ..you can for sure plug any video cam or photo camera through usb but as a drive to transfer data not as a live video camera... is by firewire an old interface developed by apple that you can connect all sorts of cameras to apple computers... unfortunately my new sony HDR-AX2000 camcorder doesn't have firewire output...
thanx -
Why does Illustrator crash when saving to a new location on my new MacPro 13" Retina Pro running Yosemite?
That won't do. What I mean is you have to navigate to the file and make it active in pastebin and then copy the highlighted line like this
and paste that into your reply. -
Does Lightroom 4, or Lightroom 5 support Raw format from the new Nikon Df camera?
Does Lightroom 4, or Lightroom 5 support Raw format from the new Nikon Df camera?
Can anyone please tell me?
If not, is there a way for me to get the photo's in to Lightroom in another manner?LR 4 no. LR 5.3 support added. If you have used an earlier version of Nikon software to download the nef files to your computer this may have made the files unreadable in Lightroom.

I'm thinking of buying a new camera. Does anyone know if can I process RAW images from a Nikon D5100 or Nikon D3200 using IPhoto on a OSX 10.5.8?
I think you'll note that Google found the list for 10.8, amazing, isn't it
No, neither are supported for Raw on 10.5.8
You'll need 10.6.8 minimum for the D5100
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3825
and for the D3200 you'll need 10.7.4 plus compatibility update 3.1.3
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4757
Bear in mind that you may also need to update your version of iPhoto too. -
I've read that Promise Pegasus2 R6 thunderbolt 2 series does not sell replacement parts (no replacement parts for any of the Pegasus line). I'm buying the new MacPro but am concerned about spending $2K for storage (12tb version) that may break and cannot be fixed (am told that one must purchase a new unit if a part breaks). What are others buying for storage for the new MacPro? Thanks so much for your help.
Discussion about this issue at MacWorld.com: http://www.macworld.com/article/2082783/first-look-promises-pegasus2-r6-thunderb olt-2-raid-array.htmlI've used the original Pegasus R6 units for a couple of years now and have been very pleased with them. On the two occasions I've had to call on their technical sujpport, I've found them readily available, knowledgeable, and very helpful. In one case it involved the reset of a unit after a power failure at an inopportune time; in the other case it was a question about upgrading disk drives to higher capacities (1 Gb gto 4 Gb). I was pleased to learn that their tech support people were in California and as good if not better than upper-tier AppleCare reps. The hardware itself has functioned flawlessly so far.

Does the new nano support gapless playback?
I listen to A LOT of trance/progressive stuff (Above & Beyond, Armin van Buuren, Paul Oakenfold, John O'Callaghan etc). Usually these albums are mixed, requiring gapless playback. Does the new nano support this?? VERY important to me that it does, otherwise would have to skip buying one and stick to my iPod 5G & iPod touch. I do like the new wearable design though...
Gapless playback and crossfade playback are 2 different things - buy a mix album and try playing it using crossfade playback - I'll let you figure out the difference (yes, really!).
Anyway, I've bought 2 (silver and red) and yes, they do support gapless playback. -
I have a new MacPro. I am trying to install a Office 2010 Professional cd. After I insert CD nothing happens. I hear the hard drive run for a couple of seconds, but still nothing happens. I am used to using a Dell notebook and the control panel in Windows is great. How do I get cd to install ? What steps do I need to follow to install ?

No eSATA, no USB 3.0, no Blu-ray drive in new MacPro's??
Did I miss something, I was going thru the specs and about to hit the Buy Now button, but I don't see any support for USB 3.0 and no option to add a Blu-ray drive?? Does anyone who plans to use a new MacPro work in something less than HD video? I can't remember the last time I burned a DVD.
For a base price of $5000 for 12 core, I kinda expected BD and USB 3.0 and eSATA. I know Intel server class motherboards (which is what Apple use) have USB 3.0. So I'm assuming the lack of BD drive and USB 3.0 is because of OS X limitation and not the hardware? But why no eSATA?
Is this the same deal as with my 2007 MacPro where the eSATA exist but I have to get a cable and backing plate to use them? As it stands right now my 2007 MacPro using eSATA BD drive is more capable than a New MacPro??
Please tell me I'm wrong? Can anyone clarify?
Thanks, Rob.Tom,
Interesting -- I can see why BD was left out in OS (no secret Mr. Jobs hates Sony royalties), but not necessarily why it was left out as an optional drive (we have other software that can deal with BD authoring/burning). Like it or not, BD is here to stay and can't be ignored forever, it's a matter of fullfilling a consumer choice (regardless of Mr Job's feelings towards it).
Makes sense now that you've said the motherboard didn't get updated ... in motherboard terms staying with a 1+ year older motherboard in a new 2010 MacPro is definitely not ideal. Motherboard changes come out almost every 3 months to accomodate new onboard components.
I'm a fan of onboard hard wired components vs. plug-in card connections when it comes to data transfer specifications (like eSATA, USB 3.0, etc.) just because hard wire provides a better electrical connection.
May have to sit this update out until the motherboard gets updated. True, I could get USB 3.0, and eSATA with expansion cards ... but I've got plans for those slots and can't really spare them just for data transfer use ... onboard solution would have been much better for me.
Maybe all the Apple engineers were working on the iPhone 4 --- doooh!! Lets hope NOT!
Glad they offer ATI 5870, I have two of these in a Windows PC and they are very nice cards -- but noisey when pushed hard. Lets see how they work with Cinema 4D and Motion 4.
Apple's memory out to lunch but their SSD 512GB are actually pretty close to industry prices -- I always start with stripped base unit and get components from NewEgg for 1/3 of the price (in most cases). -
Two display problems with my new MacPro! :/
I recently bought a new MacPro to replace my PowerPC, and am having some odd video problems I did not have with the old computer (yes, using same display). Here's some quick stats I think are important.
1. 30 inch Apple HD display (used on both computers.)
2. Old video card = Radeon X1900 - NEW video card = Geforce 8800 GT (came factory installed)
3. Old OS = 10.4.11 Tiger New OS = Leopard (with all current updates. Also factory installed)
4. Quicktime Pro on both systems fully updated
5. Both Machines had all updates installed at the time of this problem (which is since i got the new machine)
Here's the two problems...(btw NEITHER of these happen when the display is hooked up to the old computer. only the new MacPro with a different video card and OS)
1.) When I play back video (sometimes in FCP (all types of files), sometimes in QT (.mov), and sometimes even on youtube and vimeo (so those are .flv files!) only SOMETIMES do I get these odd vertical refresh-looking lines. It makes the video somewhat flicker and you can see them crawl upwards kind of. The odd thing tho, is if I play that art of the video over and over, at times it will happen, and at other times it will not. same file, same part. I also noticed it does NOT stay on the file when exported from FCP and burned to DVD, so I'm thinking it is purely playback.
2.) Some files when played back in quicktime will get extremely choppy. (Locally played files). I will then click the desktop to make finder the front most selected program...and the files will then play smooth. if I select the QT window again, it will get choppy and flicker again.
I feel like I have a refresh rate problem, or maybe even a driver problem. The thing is, of course the drivers are not updated outside of auto updates, and I have installed everything available there.
When I open up my display settings, the refresh rate box is grayed out...so changing the rate isn't possible. Also, with my old computer/video card, I had an ATI control panel...the geforce does not have one...only the build in OSX display control panel.
Has anyone heard of this? I have posted in a few different places, and have received absolutely no replies. It's really frustrating, and sitting on the phone for hours with apple support to have them say "never heard of that problem" or have me lug the **** thing into a apple store and be without my computer and unable to work doesn't sound fun either.
it's not stopping me from doing anything..it's just annoying and frustrating cause I can't make it stop. I'm thinking it might be a problem with the leopard drivers that hasn't been addressed yet? I dunno.
Any suggestions?
thanks in advance,
DamionUPDATE ::
In reading an old solution on how to get rid of the dancing pixels I get every once in a long while on this display, I downloaded SwitchResX and am using the demo to test and see if switching the refresh rate to 58khz will help in the line problem...and lo and behold...it kinda does. it is now only noticeable on fast moving action when put into full screen mode.
The QT flicker problem has NOT gone away...but I'm expecting that the horizontal lines running vertical are a refresh rate problem as I had thought.
My question, anyone know if apple is aware/working on this?
Also, why is the refresh rate not changeable with the 20 inch HD display settings in the display control panel??
I'd much rather use OSX to control my display than a 3rd party application! :/
