External GPU in FCPX- Using a Thunderbolt Chasis with external GPU's in FCPX

I recently ran across external expansion chasis here http://store1.sonnettech.com/product_info.php?products_id=413
Can I load these up with GPUs for use in FCPX? Will FCPX recognize and utilize mutliple GPU's at once?

Yes Davinci allows selecting GPU card however I still can't find a resounding YES if you have Brand X GPU card in
and Brand X expansion chasis ...a rMBP  will recognize and utilize it when trying to set this up within Davinci.
Still searching

    I am using duel thunderbolt displays with a MacBook Pro. I only have the option to have sound come from one or the other. Has anyone thought of making the left channel come from both speakers on the left Monitor and the same of the right? If yes, how is that done? The MacBook Pro could even be a center channel if configured in that order.

    Yes, it works, but if you want to use a function keys, you must download some programs as this. http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&ie=UTF8&prev=_t&sl=cs&tl=en&u=http:/ /uxsoft.cz/Projects/AWK
    I use it all the time and it works fine.

    Nope, you can only use it with a Thunderbolt port.

  • Can I use a thunderbolt DAS with 3 projectors and 1 display?

    Hi, I want to know if is possible to use a Thunderbolt DAS (Promise Pegasus), with 3 HDMI projectors and 1 HDMI display (with active adapters), and have good performance with the DAS.
    Thank you

    In the Mac Pro late 2013, there are three ThunderBolt busses, each of which has two connectors. There is plenty of bandwidth to do the I/O you are talking about. As long as resolutions are 1080p or less, that fits nicely in HALF of a ThunderBolt-2 Bus, and another device can use the other half.
    The Pegaus is limited by the speed of the drives and how many are actually active at once. Typical rotating drives can source data off the platters in the neighborhood of 125MBytes/sec, or about 1,000M bits/sec. Half a ThunderBolt-2 is ten times that.
    You have specified too many HDMI displays, (which are considered "legacy" displays) for easy, cheap hookup. You will need mostly ACTIVE adapters, such as StarTech ACTIVE Mini DisplayPort to HDMI, about US$40 each.

  • Can I use my Thunderbolt Display with my PS3?

    Hi there, I have recently purchased a Thunderbolt Display and I was wondering if I could use it with my PS3. I know I'll need a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter, but will I need anything else like a converter or can I plug it straight in?
    Thanks

    A Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter can connect a HDMI display to a Thunderbolt port.  It does not work in the other direction.  If the PS3 has no Thunderbolt port, you can't use a Thunderbolt display.  There are no adapters or converters that can help.

  • Can I use a thunderbolt display with an hdmi converter to a PC?

    I bought a Thunderbolt display, and have seen a ThunderBolt/MiniDisplay Port to hdmi converter.
    Is it possible to use a ThunderBolt display as PC display if I use this converter?
    thanks!

    Probably not.  Unlikely.  The ThunderBolt/MiniDisplay Port-to-hdmi converters are intended for connecting the thunderbolt port on an Mac to an HDMI input on a display or TV.  You can't assume these converters work backwards and without knowing exactly what converter you are talking about, and what video out your pc has ... it's impossible to say.
    I would add that one should think long & hard about risking a $1000 Apple thunderbolt display by connecting it to something it wasn't designed for.

  • Using GRaid Thunderbolt drive with older, non-thunderbolt mac.

    I have a GRaid 4TB thunderbolt external drive. Can I use that with an older mac that doesn't have thunderbolt if I have a thunderbolt to firewire adapter?

    It won't work.  No adapter exists at the moment.  At this point, a Thunderbolt display needs a Thunderbolt signal sent from a Thunderbolt compatible device.
    MAYBE you can plug the older MBP into a Thunderbolt peripheral (like the Promise Pegasus RAID disk), then plug the Thunderbolt display into the Promise...but that seems like an overly expensive work-around.

  • Can i use the thunderbolt display with a windows laptop running a AMD Radeon HD 8600M Series

    Running windows 7 on a Dell laptop with docking station connecting to thunderbolt display using a mini display port DVI adapter. Windows machine will not detect the display. Any ideas?

    No - a Thunderbolt display won't work with a mini-Displayport source, even though the cable will fit.

  • Using Thunderbolt Display with Alienware Laptop

    I want to also use my thunderbolt display with a m18x alienware laptop which has HDMI out and a mini display port.  Is there any way I can use this display with this laptop either directly or with an adapter?
    Thanks

    I don't think so, as far as I am aware the connection between the system and the Thunderbolt display has to be a thunderbolt connection.  There are reports that even pre-Thunderbolt Mac systems with a mini-display port don't work.

  • I want to use the Thunderbolt connection for an external hard drive

    I want to use the Thunderbolt connection for an external hard drive - so what port would I use on the MacBook Pro 13" for the display monitor.  Thank you!

    This is not the forum for MacBook Pro owners.
    You just need to reformat the drive in Disk Utility and erase the drive and have  Mac HFS.
    If you did need to use NTFS then you would not want -3G but Paragon NTFS for OS X x. 10.0
    Or buy something that isn't pre-formatted to Windows NT file system.
    First though make sure you have backups of your system. TimeMachine being used now?

    http://www.apple.com/support/timemachine/
    Maybe cleanout some files you don't need.
    Install a larger notebook hard drive even.
    http://www.macsales.com/firewire has a lot of choice in Mac compatible drives and enclosures so you don't need to worry about Fantom not working at some point.

  • How to use thunderbolt port with disks and DVI-display

    Hello,
    today I use a 15" MacBookPro and have attached 1TB LaCie with FW800  (for time machine) and DVI-Display using Mini-port.
    Need to add more external disk space and look for Lacie 2 TB with thunderbolt connection (for storing mass of pictures in Raid1 version)
    Is it possible to connect the new disk, the other disk with an Thunderbolt->FW800 adapter and the DVI-Display to one thunderbolt port?
    What are the options I have, to get all three to work at the same time?

    No, or at least not without additional hardware. You have too many end-points for one Thunderbolt chain.
    You also have the problem that the Thunderbolt->FW800 adapter is not yet for sale.
    If the new disk you get has two Thunderbolt ports (which not all do), you could daisy-chain the Thunderbolt->FW800 adapter behind it, but that adapter has to be at the end of the chain. The Mini-port->DVI adapter likewise needs to be at the end of a chain.
    So, you can probably get all three connected at one time by connecting the "1TB LaCie with FW800  (for time machine)" to your FW800 port, while connecting the Thunderbolt->FW800 adapter (when available) to the second port of the new disk. I say "probably" because nobody has the TB-FW adapter yet to try it.
    As for doing it on one Thunderbolt port with additional hardware, you might look into third-party docking stations being released in the next few months. The announced prices are in the low-to-middle hundreds. I won't mention brand names, as this is an Apple forum, but they aren't too hard to find by web search.
    The highest-priced solution would be the Apple Thunderbolt Display, which gives you a FW800 port for your 1TB drive, a pass-thru Thunderbolt port for your new disk, and of course a 2560x1440 display (plus ethernet and usb2 ports you may not need). It's available now, in the uppermost hundreds. There are some refurbs in the online Apple Store at the moment at 15% off.
