  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Piranha (Linux) & R3D Support

Kyle Mallory said:
I'll give this a try, but in Linux you will very rarely (under normal circumstances) see a 100% CPU load, in part because of how Linux handles multithreading. Again, in my testing so far, Piranha processing is utilising upwards of 75% of the total CPU time, evenly distributed across all 4 cores, with perhaps 5% of that actually dedicated to Piranha.

the sdk under Linux is actually given a better job when distributing single thread sdk (if you have coded this way) on CPU. It should be interesting to see how it is working on 8 cores system. I don't know if i7 architecture optimize a virtual 8 cores under linux. Some info can be find when google it. But it should be a good alternative for you to build a cheap 8 cores system on single socket. So far our test under windows with i7 and optimize sdk are very good. I believe we will be abble to get faster than realtime in 2K High playback.

Thanks, Mat. I just spected out a single chip Core i7 machine... It'll set me back about $2k. Know anyone that needs to rent a RED in SLC for a week? Or some short-form/commercials cut? ;-)

I will let you know if someone need a shoot there...
 
Yes, Ant has full support for RED. My understanding is that Ant is really designed for RED users, whereas Piranha, while it supports RED, also supports film, video, and live ingest workflows. Ant can do these things, but Piranha has a much broader feature set to support them.

I'm not sure when it will be officially released. Tom would have to answer that, but I know its "soon".
 
I really think IFX needs much more exposure. Like tutorials for the systems, website reviews and such. I had a really hard time to learn anything about the IFX systems. The Swiss reseller suggested to come to them in Switzerland for a system demo, but this is really hard to do with 10s of projects per month with tight deadlines. And local demo seems impossible (i've asked about a eval period).

Not a good way to boost your sales...

Might risk a blind purchase with Ant pricepoint though.

You should contact tom (at) ifxsoftware.com for pricing... I honestly couldn't tell you.

Hi Kyle, thanks for your reply.
I'd just would like to know roughly how much money we are talking about.
Before calling them and possibly waste their time should the price be completely out of reach or just definitely un-interesting to me.

I have no idea at all of its price.
So, do you know if it is something close to, say, 1000 american dollars?
1000-2000?
2000-5000?
more than 5000?? I think that would be very expensive for a video editing software; but since it is marketed as a professional software for indipendent production, I guess its more like around 1000.
What do you think?
Anyone knows?
Anyone tried it?

Thanks
