Using MP6,1 12core, 64GB RAM, D700s to playback Adobe Premier 4K media to dedicated TV connected via the MP6,1's HDMI the playback is smooth and audio is in sync without issues.
Moving to a MP5,1 12core, 64GB RAM with a 7950 directly connected to its dedicated TV via the 7950's HDMI and playing the same Adobe Premier 4K media being transferred across ethernet from the MP6,1 the playback is a bit choppy and audio isn't completely in sync. It's not too bad but noticeable.
I'm trying to figure out what is causing this.
1) Is it the ethernet bottleneck ? I monitored the ethernet data rate and did not see that it was. The media sits on a LaCie RAID-0 device connected to the MP6,1 that can deliver 350 MBytes/sec.
2) Is it the 7950 hardware limitation ? The 7950 is driving the TV, a 30" Apple display and a 20" ACD.
3) The MP6,1 is driving a TV, an LG 34UM95 and a 20" ACD.
4) Would an Nvidia K5000 be a benefit for resolving the playback issue on the MP5,1 ?
5) Is it simply that the MP5,1 (12core @ 2.93 GHz per core) isn't powerful enough ? The playback on the 30" is just fine and shows no issues. It's only an issue when also piping the output to the TV.
6) Other thought appreciated .... thanks.
