I am building a playback machine for a tour next week and would like to check if my specs are sufficient:
Mac pro Quadcore Intel Xeon 2,8 GHz
6 GB RAM
OS HDD: 320 GB
video HDD: 120 GB SSD OCZ vertex Sata 3
Grafik: Ati Radeon HD2600 XT 256 MB VRam
Blackmagic Design Decklink SDI (not used on that gig)
VDMX 5
we have to playback a couple of clips in 1080p, output via DVI to an SDI converter
and the Crossover HD-SDI mixer. the mixer will only process 1080i.
the projector is capable of 1080p, signal arrives as component HD over fibre channel.
for some reason AIC is not favoured by the production supervisor, so we would go with either Animation or motion JPG A.
hints and suggestions are welcome.
