Yes, it handles 4K, only way to play is
with a HD Proxy, you can work all with a HD Proxy and then render it a full res
when you finished. In my experience, render time and response of the DS when
you work the 4K full res. It is painfully slow. All depend what you are doing
in 4K. If you are just conforming, or if you are compositing with several
layers. I found some stuff that do not work OK at 4K and some times just
render garbage because a memory limitation of the current OS. If your
compositing is a bit complex, probably you are going to experiment some
problems because of the memory limitation, Hope Ver 8 will handle it better.

Subject: 2K / 4K workflow
Hi
all,
Most
of our work has been on SD, and for the first time, we might be getting a
project that would require editing in 2K or 4K.
Yesterday,
a client called in asking about the workflow, which file format the images
should be in etc.
I
didn't know the answers, but I did tell him that DS does handle 2K and 4K. I
told him I'll get back to him once I find out.
Does
DS handle 4K ?
Which
file format should I have the client bring the images in.
What
are the project settings?
Are
there any other things that I need to be aware of?
Are
there any sample 2K or 4K images on the web, that I can download and try out
the workflow ?
I
was told at NAB that the next DS (v8.0) would be 64bit and would handle 2K / 4K
a lot better than the way it is now.
Thanks
Tomio
