    Since the latest model of Mac are all using ATI cards, so does Scratch 6 support them? Or we have to buy another Nvidia with Blackmagic DeckLink also? Any one...?

    What you guys using for the Mac Version?


    Thanks!!!

    Scratch 6 utilizes Kona 3 on a Mac for SDI output.

    The supported gpu on Mac is currently the QuadroFX 4000 Mac Fermi card. Scratch uses CUDA and CUDA is not available on ATI cards.
    Scratch can "work" on ATI but won't be optimal due to this limitation.

    Cheers,

    Further to Daniel's explanation, there are many people using SCRATCH Lab with ATI cards on the Mac. You lose real-time scopes and some rendering performance but most of the CUDA optimisation is for secondaries, overlays and ofx plug-ins that you might not use with SCRATCH Lab but would miss with SCRATCH Six.
