BMPC4K and 27'' iMac late 2012

PostWed Feb 12, 2014 2:02 pm

Hi,

I was wondering if a late 2012 iMac with i7, nvidia 680mx, and 32gb of memory can handle the 4K footage from the blackmagic production camera...

It will handle ProRes just fine (that is what's currently shipping).

With 4K RAW it might struggle a little.

Thank you Adam! I'm currently grading my pocket raw footage with resolve and then I'm exporting as a prores to finalcut. I hope that it will not be too slow when it come to 4k raw footage!

I think the limited 2GB of VRAM might be an issue with 4K footage in Resolve. Will have to wait until someone shares some 4K DNG files.
