Hardware set up with RED Rocket™

[Magnus Peterson]

Received my Rocket Card today but are unsure how to set up my hardware for best performance and use. I have a 8 core 2.93 Intel mac with raid card, 4 discs (raid 0), 16 gig RAM, Deck link HDextreme card. 2 30" Displays and a TVLogic 17" Monitor. Do I connect my display directly to the Rocket Card or how do ago about it. Greatful if anybody could help me out.

Thanks Zak, Have tried to hook up one display to the break out cable and the monitor to the SDI otuputs. Only get greenish image on the monitor and no image at all on the display.

hook it up to the rocket if you want to see the rocket display on your tv/monitor. for now you can only have monitor output from the rocket card if you are in rocketcine. when you switch to final cut you will need to connect the tv or monitor back to your decklink card

Sounds like it would be a good plan to just get a dedicated monitor to hook up to the Rocket, while having your general use monitor hooked up to your video card instead of having to get back there and switch back and forth.

Sounds like you're in dual link mode. Try setting it to 422.

Sorry, stupid question: Where do I change from dual link to 422?
