RED Rocket

[Steve Freebairn]

That's what the rocket does is process - and yeah - you can take that processed data out to whatever - and I am standing next to Deanan and is confirming that.

4K realtime. Get use to it ... It's about to become ordinary.

Dude, Mark, go to bed, you're going to need sleep for tomorrows party. Make that tonight's party.

 

[Roberto Lequeux]

I think it should be Nvidia flavored... just cause ATI is for girls.

I am loving the idea. Hope I can buy one of these for myself.

Prayers have just been answered. accept it

Castic Raytracing Card is going to take up a PCI bay. ttp://www.caustic.com/
Now this thing will take up a PCI E spot too....

Did you see their examples on the gallery? Not the best images to showcase their cards/technologies, looks like early 90ies computergraphics to me...

 

[Chris Parker]

hey mark. i look forward to testing out QTake HD tomorrow. That, and the RED stuff, are the real reasons I am here.......

 

[Sergio Perez]

I'm really hoping this to work like an rt2000 from the old days when "regular" computers couldn't handle uncompressed SD and 10 bit edits. I hope this card will make my Macpro be able to edit/grade 5k 25p like I do multiple DVCPRO HD 1080 25p streams and display with an Aja card...

 

[Pawel Achtel]

Huh! This is exactly what my doctor ordered. :beer:

 

[Justin Harrison]

Cant wait to see this in action maybe hopefully more tonight?

 

[Shane Betts]

Hah! I was right! http://reduser.net/forum/showthread.php?t=29260&page=4 Does that mean I get a free one??

Put us down for three. When, when, when, when, when?

 

[Roberto Lequeux]

Are we still far away from RT 10-bit grading?

I suppose Rocket being an external box may not be possible, but that would really make this product shine. Hook up a pair together and get more power for grading, or for 9k preview.

If they were at least stackable, SLI style or other, that would still be more in line with the modular mentality Red already has, allowing our investments to pay off though a longer life. However this may not possible either...

5k/4k RT grading on a 1080p at 10-bit would be all I would ask for for a long time.

However RT finishing on color critical 4k monitors would be worth a lot more for so many, and would quickly become the new standard if all you needed was to buy two (or three) Rockets. I am not sure of how good the color may be on the 4k monitors but a few people walking the NAB floor have already said that the color looks great on at least one of them.

How nice would it be to do your work at 2k then go to a colorist's personal studio to finish at 4k on a >46" monitor. Or rent the $30k monitor and additional Rocket...

Just wondering aloud.

not sure godard would celebrate this $5k cigar

Jean-Luc only works with video cam now. If I'm correct his last movie was shot with hdv cam, and (that i am sure of it) he even tried to "shoot" it back to 35 by filming his huge plasma screen with 35mm cam. But finally this job was done by a proper lab.

Red would be too big for him, he likes small cams.

About the workflow, is a redcine 2.0 (out of beta) for linux coming?

thanks,
antoine.

right.. we would appreciate a red for us

Jim,

Any chance of making that 5k at 25fps? Please?

Mike C

EDIT : Sorry I had read through all the post, just saw Jim's answer.

Thank you Jim and Red team for this tool and making it 25fps compatible.

Cheers,
Damien

RED Rocket.

R3D Decode, debayer and playback high quality REALTIME 4k at 30fps (or 5K at 25fps).

Will accelerate FCP, Premiere, After Effects, RED Alert!, REDCINE, REDrushes or any application using the REDCODE SDK.

PCI-Express, Output interfaces will include Quad-DVI and Quad-HD-SDI. Works with Mac, PC and Linux.

Under $5k.

Great News Jim !

Jim as a newbie to the Red Post workflow I have a few questions please. Sorry if I am not up to speed on the workflow.

Will the Rocket allow debayer and playback of all RED Formats and frame rates, as a pal 25 fps user I am just curious as to what formats will be supported or is it only 5K /25p

I take it you will be able to monitor and grade in full quality 4:4:4 10bit at different resolutions ?

Can you output through the card to a HD CAM / D5 deck or is it just a Decode, Debayer, Acceleration card. (by the way this is fine by me)

Somebody asked can the card be used with the Kona 3 this would be great. Once we can output to a deck for TV and 1080p/2K work.

Sorry if this is widely known but is their an easy way of converting 25fps Red footage to 24fps and visa versa or will this card allow for this.

Will the card work with and accelerate Cineforms Neo 4K, probably wont need to use it now though.

Regards
Ray

Thanks Deanan ! Working late ??

Yeah, the AJA party was alot of work.

 

[Hrvoje Simic]

Wow. Many thanks for the effort of everyone included in the project. Finally.


I suggest making also software plug-in version for those who already have sufficient GPU power.


Also...ATI's proprietary XGP x16 license exclusivity expires in June...
