Isn’t it leopard dependent?
Let the games begin!
Yay for hopefully another chance of the 8core mac pro’s release.
Woot for new FCS
Well, given the graphics on the invite, it seems way more than likely that we will FINALLY see FCP 6. Nice
Both FCP 6 and the Octal-core Mac Pros could require Leopard. Don’t be surprised if Apple announces that the new Mac Pros will ship with Leopard pre-loaded and be released in May.
@ Leopard?
That is my understanding too. Wouldn’t it be advisable to make FCP native 64-bit? If that is the case Leopard would improve its performance. I also am guessing that FCP would be taking advantage of core animation.
But I don’t really know what I’m talking about.
New Monitors with built-in iSight & HDMI?!?!!?
Jobs wants to talk about phones again.
Just my $0.02
YEAH!!! 6G iPo—oh.
I wish I was going… my boss gets to go to NAB this year instead of me. 🙁
FCP 6 I hope isn’t as buggy as 5 was when it first came out, but the way Apple has been lately… I’m sure it will be, but, we’ll upgrade right away anyway.
Yup, no NAB here either. I’d love an upgrade to 6. I’m crossing my fingers for a better color correction workflow and better media management. I’d like to tell the AVID people to stick it when they start whining about FCP media management.

I doubt you’ll ever see an Apple display with anything as bulky as an HDMI connector, although Mac graphics cards may well sport them.
More likely, we’ll see – at some point – the HDCP-compliant, HDMI-compatible UDI interface.
More info, for them that’s interested, is here.
so if you 8 core Mac Pro is running Leopard (or any version of OS X) doesn’t that make it an Octopussy?
PowerBook G5
Quad-Core MacBook Pro!
8 core Minis ?
Iam SICK TO WAIT THE FSCK… NEW MAC PRO! I NEED IT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That was funny, macaholic!
You could bond with a machine like that.
That is definitely a reference to a final cut 6 release in the invitation. The background graphics are the same as the current final cut packaging.
How is it that I saw this before I received my email invatation?
i’m gonna be in vegas…. na na na na naaah na!
