Re: 2018 MacMini experiment on ProTools HDX
Hi Steins!
My studio optical Thunderbolt 2 wire made fireworks in machine room and died. Now i am thinking investing in KVM solution and while I am waiting fro Rack Mount Mac Pro come out - in Mac mini. Similar setup as yours - HDX1 in Magma PCLe expansion. Since I do post work I would like to know, does Mac mini were able to run two video outputs without eGPU? I have idea of having 1 4K monitor for PT and other for 55" HD,TV. All feeded from HDMI and t3 to HDMI adapter / dock via KVM extension. I think it's not wise anymore to invest in T2 optical wires. Aten makes now 4k Cat5 video extension at really great prices. |

How did the optical TB solution work before it died? We have a machine room for the noisy gear and/or things which need to be kept cool, but I've never considered moving the Mini in there because we need TB accessible in the control room. Stein Tore

I had iMac 27' 5k in control room wired to the HDX / RAID storage in machine room via T2 optical. HDX took all the heavy lifting so iMac even didn't start to sweat and were completely silent. From iMac i had T3 to HDMI adapters to TV and VO booth. Everything worked without glitch and were smooth and actually is Avid supported solution. It made sense 4 years ago as T2 were up to date technology but not any more. I already have some T3 to T2 adapters in data chain and T2 wire were slowly becoming the bottleneck. I read a rumour that optical T3 will come out sometime this year but you know - T4 is already making a sign on horizon. Going KVM route makes more sense in long run as I don't expect CAT7 wires to age out anytime soon. That makes gear replacement and updating easer because they all are kept close in machine room. |
