REDROCKET with Red Rushes?

[jacknusa]

Does REDROCKET accelerate rendering only when using ROCKETCINE-X or does it also accelerate rendering using red rushes?

Maybe a dumb question - but the card and installer packages don't really come with any documentation other than hardware installation instructions - and ROCKET CINE X (unless I've missed something) comes with no documentation at all...

I am curious about this as well as some info on exactly what kind of acceleration RR card supports in terms of render times.

Rocket Currently accelerates RocketCineX which replaces the need for REDrushes and it also accelerates REDCineX, but RocketCineX is the app of choice for batch processing at this point.

Now slightly Pi**ed

OK - before you all start screaming - IT'S BETA SOFTWARE - I'd like to point out that in the RED Store it say's nowhere, I REPEAT NOWHERE, that the red Rocket product itself is in Beta, or that you have to use BETA software to run it.

I bought the REDROCKET under the impression that using the BETA software "ROCKETCINE-X" was optional - stupid me just assumed that redalert and redrushes was the non-BETA software option.

$5.000 later I find out it's not the case. The card can only be used with the BETA software ROCKETCINE-X.

RED - Please clarify in your store that the REDROCKET card is for practical purposes a BETA PRODUCT.

Now to my Immediate concern: REDCINE-X lacks an option for "FIT HEIGHT" in the output scale module - which in our case f**ks us compleatly since we've shot 2:1 that needs to have a "fit to height" -crop to 1080x1920

IS there ANY option available to us to leverage the processing power of REDROCKET other than first rendering out to 1080x2160 and then running it through compressor to do the crop?

$5.000 half down the drain - RED, PLEASE CLARIFY THAT REDROCKET IS A BETA PRODUCT!!!
