Axatax_ wrote: Now, here's the really annoying thing --

Both libavcodec and libx264 have native MIPS assembly optimizations in the source tree now. The problem is, it's gcc inline-assembler targeting snapdragon/cell phone-type MIPS CPUs. The ASM could be backported to SGI MIPS with the translation of a handful of SIMD operations (and really, it's just a handful), but all of this needs to be moved to seprate files and broken out from the current C source. I'm looking into this now, but don't have many good examples to go by.



Have you looked at Open264 instead of the x264? I dunno if that will run faster on these ancient computers, but its always worth a shot to see.

I downloaded it last night, it plays most of my XviD files with only the occasional dropped frame. h264 I still have some issues with, but its probably lack of CPU muscle more than anything. 480p x264, FWIW, was what I tried.

Wrote on the subject of SGI Fuel video problems at Jan. 30, 2015, 1:46 p.m...
Well, I picked up an SGI Fuel for $150 very recently, a 4GB/700MHz model. The owner said it didn't work, says it flashes the video card fault code.

I'm not at home right now, but I plan to revive this machine very soon. Any advice on what to look for? I plan to take the card out, clean all the contacts with isopropanol, clean the circuits and such. Anything else I can or should try?

Welcome to Nekochan, Trekiej

Prizms cannot run IRIX as they run on the Itanium architecture. They run Linux, and they're kinda picky about what kernel version and variant you use. Adrenaline, a user here, has a Prizm I know.

I prefer MIPS myself, but I don't really do much video editing myself. A lot of the other guys on here have done it before and would be happy to chime in. Paging all video editors. uunix has a Tezro and does video editing - I don't know if its HD or not.

Onyx machines are nice, if you have the space. Onyx and Onyx2 desksides aren't too big, about the size of a mini-fridge and 100 - 150 kilos, but the racks can weigh in three times that. At least some, if not all of, the models require 240V hookup.

What would a Fuel cost?
How does one deal with the Sync On Green connection when you have a svga moitor? :(


Well, in the $300 - $1000 range is what I've seen them priced at. Depends on specs, condition etc. The newer Chimera systems use DVI, the Chimeras are the Fuel, the Tezro, the Onyx3x0, and the Onyx3&4. With DVI, sync on green isn't an issue. The older ones use 13w3 which does use sync on green, which you can get an adapter for. Most monitors I've seen support the protocol anyways so its never been an issue.

If you're serious about getting a Fuel, try messaging Kira. She has several of them last I checked.

I wouldn't be so sure - I have a cousin in the film industry, and he sent me a pic of a massive Onyx 2 cluster at one film studio ( he didn't tell me which ) and when he asked how long they'd been there, they answered they'd been in continuous use since 1997, and they still have people who can man them. They said retirement only comes when they start to break.

So Jan-Jaap you're saying the 1GHz Tezro tower can have DCD? www.nekochan.net/wiki/SGI_Tezro#Graphics I have seen this here and in other places that the heatsinks on the 1GHz model won't have DCD on the tower. Of course, I haven't laid my hand on a Tezro, though I've gotten to touch one that was at my old university in Florida, it was in a storehouse alongside some DEC hardware.

What can I say? Screen sucks. I like TMUX because its easier to customize. It also only depends on libevent, so I don't imagine its going to give too much trouble.

Well Guardian452, I had many dealings with a few local Radioshacks, they got wrapped up in the smartphone wars and as a result, customers like me looking to buy electronics parts, cleaner etc. were left to browse alone with not help. They dug their own grave.

I know they can run pricy. I got the one in my sig for considerably less, so I'm hoping a miracle happens for my friend here too.

Once I get an alpha system if you're unable to build it I will do it myself

I still have questions I want to ask but I am about ready to go to work.
A question I could ask is, how is gen-locking with sgi machines?
I would like to use ntsc composite/s-video and do some chroma keying.
Also, I saw a SGI Iris Indigo for sale, how well do you like this machine?
Cheers.


SGIs are better than Amigas at genlocking. An Iris Indigo is about the same age as an Amiga 4000, and the R3000 model is roughly as powerful as an '060 A4000, with more RAM and a magnitude better GPU, but still not enough to handle modern video. For SD video, you need at least a good Indy or O2.

Some machines its more common, but most, if not all, models had genlock cards available.

Lots of NOS ones on eBay. Most released post 1995 have no issues with the 68-pin or 80-pin UW/U160/U320 disks.

Oh, those adapters are pricy. The Fuel, Tezro, Octane and the Onyx and Origin 2 and up do have PCI attachments from which you could attach a SAS card to, and thereby use SAS or SATA. Not for a boot drive though, as far as I know. Someone else probably knows more.

For Octane you can find dual CPU systems pretty easily, as well as CPUs. The O2 is single CPU only.

As for the Elan, I dunno. Someone else will be able to tell you.
