4K HDMI out of new mac pro

[leif]

Is it possible to send 4K HDMI out of new mac pro to a monitor in Smoke 2015? Or does one need the UltraStudio 4k?

Thanks,

Leif

Unfortunalely, 4K and UHD preview is not available with Smoke 2015.

no 4k preview end of story? What about with AJA or Blackmagic cards?

Disappointingly Smoke also doesn't support 4k for the main interface either, let alone 4k output. I took delivery of the Samsung  U28D590D UHD monitor yesterday and while After Effects works great with it, Smoke scales the standard interface and so everything is blurry and thus worse than on the Apple 24 inch monitor (that is now outputting the image).

There is no 4K output via Smoke on MacPro regardless of SDI I/O device.  I've gone far down this road.  Trust me, I would gladly pay extra for this feature.  I hope it is a future feature.

Ultimately I was forced to supplement Smoke with Tweak Software RVSDI for 4K playback.  It is a really nice playback tool.  Includes support for just about every conceivable format.

I'm assuming you can still work in 4K (monitor 2K or HD) and export 4K files?

You are correct.  We ran a 4K Stereo project within Smoke.  Either hardware downsized to HD or rendered down to HD, depending upon viewing need.  I found the hardware scaling would introduce some edge artifacts.  Therefore, for picture reviews, we would render down to HD.   Final picture was rendered out as 4K stereo.
