recommended tech specs for Redcine

[Martin Ludwig]

didn´t found any actual thread about recommended tech specs for a good redcine workflow - any informations on the board or from red ?

What exactly do you mean about tech specs?

About the processing the only numbers I have noted so far, are from Lucas (from Assimilate) and wrote that it took him 3 time real time to process 4K REDCODE RAW to 2k DPX on a Mac, unfortunatelly I think he never specifiy which Mac, so I would think it is a Octocore.

I think REDCINE will have some batch processing option, you might want to have a render farm for processing faster.

REDCINE will run on both OSX and Windows.

Might also want to mention that Redcine will only run on Intel-based Macs or a PC. NOT on PPC!

We are making some changes to REDCINE and then doing testing. When that's done we'll talk more about the product. For REDCINE on Windows you'll want an nVidia graphics card and for the Mac an ATI (driver thing).

heh our dualcore does 1frame a second at 2K, Octa in shipping...

1 frame a second, that is really not the same thing as 3x real time!
Fuck that's 24 sec for one second, so 24 hours for one hour....

Eh Rob, What kind of change are you making?

Did you have a look to the SI2K softs? They have on for capture, with nice spot meter function and also keying option, so you can get a raw comp on set. That's nice.
Any chance to see that with RED?
