With Gurman's new reporting today, Apple may launch its new MacBook Pros alongside the new Mac mini at a fully focused Mac Apple silicon event. This fall, Apple is preparing to launch several new products, including the iPhone 13, Apple Watch Series 7, a new iPad mini, an updated baseline iPad, new AirPods, and completely redesigned 14 and 16-inch MacBook Pros. The new Mac mini is also rumored to feature additional ports. It will have an updated design and more ports than the current model.Īpple leaker Jon Prosser in May shared renders of what the upcoming Mac mini may look like, and according to those renders, allegedly based on images from internal Apple sources, the new Mac mini will feature a "plexiglass" top and a magnetic power port. Well, expect that to go away in the next several months with a high-end, M1X Mac mini. Apple knows that, so it kept the Intel model around. The Mac mini is used for more basic tasks like video streaming, but many people use it as a software development machine, as a server or for their video editing needs. Last fall, as part of its trio of initial Macs to transition over to Apple Silicon chips, the company updated the older Mac mini design with the M1 processor. ![]() In the latest publication of his Power On newsletter, Gurman writes that a new high-end Mac mini, which has previously been reported to feature a new design with additional ports, can be expected to replace the current Intel Mac mini in "the next several months." This presumably means the new Mac mini may launch alongside the redesigned 14 and 16-inch MacBook Pros this fall. FCP scopes, and FSI scope…and Color scopes, and FSI scope.Apple can be expected to launch an updated high-end Mac mini with a new design and a faster "M1X" Apple silicon processor in the "next several months," Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reports. UPDATE: Here is a frame of video seen from FCP and Color…output via an AJA Kona 3 to an FSI monitor via SDI. ![]() ![]() The full sized screen captures of the scopes from ScopeBox can be found here. And I am sure that if I point this bug out to Apple, they will do nothing, as FCP 7 and Color 1.5 are legacy apps, with FCP X around the corner. Sure enough, THOSE scopes didn’t match what FCP or Color was showing, and it TOO was showing the offset between FCP and Color. Using the built in scopes on the FSI I checked this again. So I went into work and that machine is running an AJA KONA 3 feeding a Flanders Scientific (FSI) monitor via SDI. I wondered if this was an issue with my hardware…the MXO2’s. Which is the PROPER video signal? Because I color correct in Color, but then output to tape in FCP. Well, the brights were brighter, the blacks were actually more crushed too. The signal coming from COLOR was different than that coming from FCP…even though I had the same hardware involved.īy the way, the hardware involved is my MacPro Octo 3.0 Ghz Jan 2008 machine, outputting from my Matrox MXO2 Mini via HDMI or Component (same issue on both) into my Matrox MXO that is connected to my MacBook Pro 2.4Ghz Duo core machine. Just by a couple points, but noticeable when I switched back and forth and looked at the scopes. BUT, when I switched back and forth from FCP and Color…the signal I got from them to ScopeBox was DIFFERENT! The image from FCP was a little hotter….brighter. Kind of bright, so peaking a little over 100IRE, blacks a little high too, muddied. I am parked on the same frame of video in FCP and Color. ![]() OK, I am doing testing, looking at the comparisons when…I noticed something. But I felt that the ones in Color more closely represented what I saw when I did have hardware scopes on a system once. Because software scopes are no match for hardware ones. I have grown accustomed to trusting the Color scopes more than FCP’s… even though I know I am not supposed to trust either one. BUT, I should note that the scopes in FCP and Color didn’t show the same thing either. When I was testing it out (and I am still in the middle of testing it, so no final conclusions at this point and time), I noticed that the video levels that it indicated was different than what I saw in FCP or Color. Feed it a signal via firewire from a camera, or via a signal into a capture card connected to the computer. ScopeBox, as you can see via the link, is a way to get external scopes running on your Mac. This all started when I sat down to give ScopeBox a spin.
