tried it on a G5 2x1.5...
Runs nice on one clip, no effects.
Runs 2 clips ok, with crossfading.
Adding a third clip is alright...
Adding effects gets the framerate uneven.
It all come down to how much ram you have (we had 4gigs), and how fast your drives are (SATA RAID 0).
I would recommend a macpro, on SATA RAID 0 for the OS and another for the clips, for some serious vj mix.
In the end, it all comes down to how long your clips are, and which codec you use. Using a codec or another would depend on your throughput strategy: RAM vs Disk.
By the way, I would like to know how Mod8 performs in 1080i on a macbook pro...
All experiences in 1080i appreciated.
PS: Anyone has any experience using Apple Intermediate vs HDV ?
