I am actually looking at updating the innards of an old Win 10 backup PC I have (circa 2012!) with a brand new Intel 8th generation i3-8100. Honestly, buy a cheap desktop PC for HEVC transcoding. This is a bummer position to be in so any thoughts out there?Įspecially, and this is the main question at the moment: What Graphics Card for HEVC processing on the 2012 Mac Pro? NAB is right around the corner so maybe something else might come up? I do still have the really nice AX53, and lets not forget the iPhone, so it isn’t like I’m “Camless in Seattle”. Īt this point I really wish I hadn’t been so rash and sold the AX100 because 4K still has a way to go but the smaller HLG file size is a selling point. Spring for wasting $500 on the ENG Z90 for which I don’t need anything extra it has to offer except for the 10-bit, assuming there is a solution for item #3.
#4k graphics card for mac upgrade
Do a post and hope some savior comes to the rescue with a good upgrade path for the Mac Pro, (preferably and OTB one!),Ĥ.
#4k graphics card for mac update
Get the NX80 and do 4K for now and hope some day Sony might release a firmware update for 10-bit,ģ. To heck with HLG for now and just get the NX80 and do 4K ,Ģ. I hate stumbling blocks! And doubly so if they are expensive.ġ. Some users appear to have found workable solutions while others apparently going down the same path have found stumbling blocks. Thee are several solutions but they are all kinda “messy” (no boot screen, code hacking, and the like) and work intensive.
#4k graphics card for mac pro
Currently I have a 2012 Mac Pro which has a lot of capability for upgrades however, so far I’ve been unable to find an “out of-the-box” (OTB) drop-in graphics card for it. Then the next problem is what computer to edit with. If one gets a new cam that puts out 8-bit cam like the Sony HXR-NX80, what does the future hold? Just 4K and a Hybrid Log Gamma (HLG) version of HDR? Is there any chance Sony might provide at a later date an upgrade path to 10-bit? Or should one just get a 10-bit capable cam to begin with? It’s bad enough throwing a couple thousand at a new cam but to have to get a new computer too? That’s crazy because they cost a bundle too. So what is a person supposed to do if selecting a new cam?Īnd it isn’t just the cam, it’s the whole chain including the computer, application, and monitor. It almost seems like it was almost yesterday that 4K was the way forward and now HEVC is catching on. High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC), also known as H.265 and MPEG-H Part 2, is a compression standard being used on some new cams.
