Next time I'll try to find budget for something like that. I assume this is what they mean:įor this project we don't have any money for more professional solutions unfortunately, but thanks for the tip. The DualHead2Go Analog only has 2 available resolutions which are 2048 x 7 x Have you successfully used switchresx + displayport/thunderbolt->VGA? From what Matrox is saying I think the output from the adaptor plug might be too I was planning to buy the DP version instead, and use it with active dp>vga adapters, but you are saying that it is not compatible with that? The Matrox website connectivity chart says you need a 3rd party active dp>vga converter. This will result in limited to no output resolution. No adapters are to be used at the input of the Matrox GXM product line as they create bottlenecks limiting the required bandwidth. Apple seriously changed the laptop game with their latest 14” and 16” MacBook Pros, unleashing some brand-new chips that promise incredible power and efficiency.The DualHead2Go Analog Edition is only compatible with computers that have a VGA output port that is native to the body of the computer. If, like me, you are ready to upgrade your aging laptop with one of these new options you’ll quickly find the choices are a little more complicated than it seems, especially with multiple chip options in the M1 Pro and M1 Max. Plus, there are different graphics selections and the size consideration. If you want an early breakdown about which MacBook Pro you should pick for video editing then you should check out this video by Max Yuryev.Ī nice change with this generation of MacBook Pros is that you can get either size with equal configurations. No missing components for the smaller 14” this time around. There is still potential for thermal throttling in the smaller model, but that won’t be known until hands-on reviews make it out.Īs for the configurations, you should start looking at you might as well start off at the base. ![]() Honestly, most people will be more than satisfied with the base 14” MacBook Pro. Considering the performance of the standard 13” MacBook Pro with M1 – which Max loves – these improvements mean that you should enjoy quite significant boosts to performance. The base model features an 8-core CPU, 14-core GPU, 16GB memory, and a 512GB SSD. This is how many people would upgrade their MacBooks before. Plus, the unified memory is so much faster than conventional memory, and even before you might’ve wanted more memory, you are still going to be just fine with 16GB. ![]() More memory is useful if you constantly are running a ton of different applications at the same time. Say if you have Chrome with dozens of tabs, Premiere Pro, After Effects, and Photoshop all up at once with constant switching between them you would benefit from going up to 32 GB. Max doesn’t think 64GB memory will be worth it. Storage has gotten a nice speed bump to 7.4GB/s. The base is 512GB which is fine and since most people run external drives you might still be okay. However, the speed improvement may make you want to run files off the drive. If you have the cash and want to ditch the external you can get however much storage as you want. If you’ve bought an external display for your Mac Studio, MacBook Pro or Mac Mini and found that the resolution and scaling is poor or the picture is blurry including on M1/M2 Macs, macOS Sonoma, Ventura and Monterey, here are some tips on how to fix it. Personally, 1TB is safe and 2TB is good if you have no problem with the cash. Starting at the base 14” model you will see some binned chips that aren’t hitting the max spec. These feature the M1 Pro with 8-core CPU and 14-core GPU, seemingly ditching 2 of the performance CPU cores, which is about 20% less performance than the standard 10-core CPU. If you are working with conventional footage you likely aren’t pushing your CPU too hard since much of the work is offloaded to dedicated encoders/decoders or the GPU. The short story is the base model should be nice. Spending another $300 will get you the full-on M1 Pro chip with a 10-core CPU and 16-core GPU. These extra cores will give you a boost of about 10-15% for graphics along with the 20% CPU bump. This seems totally worth it if you are working with more difficult footage or plan on doing a lot of color grading work with effects. However, if you are doing a lot of this work, you should go up another $200 and get the 24-core GPU for a noticeable improvement in performance. ![]() Looking at the 16” MacBook Pros now you have a slightly different base model starting at $2500 for a 10-core CPU and 16-core GPU. It means about a $200 difference for the larger screen compared to a similarly configured 14” MacBook Pro. This base model is probably where many people will start and finish their journey.
