NAB13- RED ROCKET-X

[Wayne Morellini]

RED ROCKET-X is a supercharged version of the RED ROCKET processing .R3D files from Scarlet, Epic MX and Epic Dragon cameras up to 5x faster than the current Rocket.

Pricing:

-$6750 Regular Price
-$5750 for early adopters
-$4495 if ordered at the time of any DRAGON purchase ( new or upgrade )

Ships this Summer

How is it for future 8k and 28k sensors Jarred?

 

[Rick Darge]

That's damn pricey if I must say. I realize 5x faster but you guys have been charging $5k for the current model for a long time now and I know parts for those things MUST have become lower over time due to Moore's Law. It's gonna be harder and harder getting people into the swing with a car that is almost $10k brand new. I don't mean to play Devils Advocate. It just seems EXPENSIVE and the old one was already quite pricey too

Red, sell the old cards for $1k a pop !!!!

You would be surprised Rick.. Trust me I agree with you but Mr. Moore seemed to overlook this one. The current Rocket is the one product that hasn't gotten a whole lot cheaper to make like everything else. We have been very transparent in passing reductions in costs to you guys... and for whatever reason these cards cost us very close to what they did 5 years ago. Seriously.

To put it in perspective.. just remember that the original Rocket can still out-process todays fastest dual xeon $12,000 computers when it comes to crunching through those R3Ds.

The best bang for the buck is the combo dragon upgrade with the rocket X card. And the fan upgrade. And this bolo paddle.

is this better than TITAN ? any chance to compare how much would costs rams+ high End GPU for same performance with RRocket X?

 

[David Battistella]

I just want a clear enclosure so I can look at that thing all the time. Nice design for a PCI card.

Apples and oranges. Rocket X is a FPGA for processing R3Ds. Titan is a graphics card with CUDA cores that can be used for other video stuff.

 

[Filip Orlandic]

Can we use 2 of them at the same time?

 

[Jarred Land]

Can we use 2 of them at the same time?

yup

Hi Jarred,

Will this Red Rocket have upto 3 years warranty/Red Armor available?

Most of what Red does is great for their customers but the current setup with Red Rocket cards simply isn't good enough for a pro piece of kit. That something can fail and there be no means to fix it, the only solution is to replace it, becomes very costly. I know of few Red Rocket users that haven't had to have a replacement. I'm on my third card to date.

Thanks
Paul

thanks....hope dragon waits until autumn
need to make more money until that time LOVE YOU RED

Hi Jarred,

Paul

yup.. 3 year RED ARMOR is $395.

 

[Sam Taylor]

Brilliant!

 

[PaulClements]

yup.. 3 year RED ARMOR is $395.

Perfect. Thank you Jarred.

Paul

 

[Steve Johnson]

Great Jarred.

yup.. 3 year RED ARMOR is $395.

Take it you can use a current RED Rocket and a new RED ROCKET-X at the same time in the same machine???

 

[Filip Orlandic]

yup

Thanks.

 

[ericyoung]

yup.. 3 year RED ARMOR is $395.

THAT'S the biggie with this Rocket-X!!

 

[David Battistella]

Existing Rocket all now sold as BT?

So no OpenCL/CUDA/DirectCompute debayering coming then

with graphic cards that can do realtime raytracing in 2k you would think a little bit of debayering is something they can easily handle.

 

[Raphael Varandas]

speechless!! Thanks guys
