Getting my RR-X to play nice with the Vizio 4K has been elusive all day. Tanner at RDC has been great today trying to help figure it out. Still at this point no luck. I'm running Build 37 with the latest RR-X firmware. Using a 4K compliant DisplayPort to HDMI Cable. I can even get 1080 to work right now.

If anyone has any pointers on thier success or lack of lets compare notes.

Thanks

I have seen that DisplayPort has been enabled on the Rocket-X card with the most recent update. I also have a 4K monitor being shipped to me this week. I'll give it a test and report back :-)

Hi Stewart!

I hope you are successful, but, as I recall, no go on 4K out, at this time...

Thank you very much

I'm also interested to know if this is possible. I just got an email from a client this morning asking if we can monitor 4K on set with the DIT.... I didn't know if the Rocket-X could do it. Anyone?
 
Unless the latest updates have changed things, UHD/4K monitoring directly from the video output of the RR-X is not supported. Best solution I'm aware of, is to put both a RR-X and a bomber GPU (Titan, GTX980Ti, etc) in a workstation and drive the display from the GPU.

AFAIK, any RR-X based solution is only for already captured data - not for live monitoring. For the Scarlet-D and Epic-D cameras RED offers a UHD broadcast module that spits out a live UHD stream for display/broadcast/recording. The module is roughly $6,000 so it's not very cost effective unless you would use it a lot. It would be a perfect rental piece if you can find anyone renting them out, but that may be tough since they are not a well known and popular item. The extant model is DSMC1 compatible, no solution for UHD/4K monitoring on DSMC2 has been released, or even announced, so far...
