- Phantom camera crews using Apple-silicon Macs
- Worth noticing
- Playback uses the camera's color settings and corrects anamorphic squeeze; the page says this matches DaVinci Resolve's “Decode using Clip.”
Field notes
The described workflow starts with a CineStation connected to the Mac over 10GbE; enabling fast mode requires an administrator password once. MagDock presents thumbnails and take details before copying, including frame rate, duration, and trigger time. The page lists a single tested setup—CineStation IV and CineMag IV with footage from a Phantom Flex4K—so broader hardware compatibility is not established here.
