  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Will Redcine be updated soon to support the scaling for the Retina MBP? Would be very useful working with high res clips.
 
It's definitely high on our list of things to support. We're still waiting for our Retina MBP to arrive, though.

Cool, in the meantime working at the full 2880x1800 without scaling does work perfect, it's just really tiny.

Think you could send along a screenshot to redcinex at red dot com?

Thanks!
 
While Apple's new Retina MacBook Pro includes a display measuring 2880x1800 pixels, the default display options do not allow users to run their systems at that full resolution. Instead, the extra pixels are used to display a higher level of detail on a canvas representing the previous 1440x900 resolution. But users who wish to use a desktop with effective resolution higher than 1440x900 can still do so, as System Preferences offers several different options ranging up to 1920x1200.

So with the new MBP retina Display, i had assumed i had the NVDIA 650m graphics card AND was about to download CUDA 4.2, BUT after looking at the specs inside my MBP retina under Video Card (within "about this mac")....it shows me the following:
Intel HD Graphics 4000
AND
NVDIA GeForce GT650m

....So, do i then have ability to use CUDA and therefore go and download Cuda drivers from NVIDIA site?

....anyone else doing this?

Yes. CUDA driver will utilize the M650 and ignore the Intel card
 
Hello,

Just got the MacBook Pro 2.7GHz with 16GB RAM/750GB SSD Retina Display. Running it with Sonnet Echo Express Pro. I found a couple of glitches with RCX Pro beta 16.

When I install the Mountain Lion update, then clips wouldn't display nor play with RR decoding on. By turing the RR decode off then it is fine. The I go back to the original install without the Mountain Lion update, then it works fine. This might be happening with FCP 3 installer installed (I suspect this because when I tested with my friend's 2.6GHz MBP, RR worked fine with all of the updates).

Can RED team look into this?

By the way, the speed of the the Retina MBP is amazing. With RR, it transcodes to 1080p/QT422HQ in realtime (which means 1 minute footage is converted in 1 minute).
 
Go back to 10.8.1 for now.

I know, so I want RED to fix it.
 
I did the fresh install and confirmed that the it was because of the update, not by installing the FCP3 installer.
 
Having a great time testing R3D using REDMAG reader and a Sonnet Echo Express Pro/Tempo SSD Pro combo here.
Love the speeds Im getting at playback.
Using 10.8.1 for now and no problems.
Except for the Video on Second Monitor option doesnt work.
Testing with a Apple Cinema 24 HD via TB port.
Works fine if you drag the RCXPro window around but would like to shoot it across both screens.
Anyone find this issue?
Using RCXPro 15.

Edit: I figured it out with dual problem. dragged the RCXPro window half-way between two displays and then selected Video on Second Monitor.
Must be a Retina glitch.
