RED Rocket lifts off the RED LAUNCH PAD!!

[Mark L. Pederson]

custom box we have been testing from JMR for Scratch/Adobe/R3D trascode that will be at REDUCATION community day -

Dual socket 3.2 Tylersburg CPUs - 16T internal raid - CX GPU

Okay...I guess that shows it. The HD SDI solution seems a little strange, but not overly difficult.

I guess you have some beta RED Alert software, right? Otherwise, that card won't do much, right?

 

[Kevin Wild]

God, those PC shots remind me of why I love Apple so much.

Sounds right to me.

I'm going offline for a while to start playing in the sand box ...

I'll post as much info as I can later today/tonight.

Why the 2x Raid HBA's Mark ? Cant ya just use a x16 HBA?

 

[Jarred Land]

LOL! Had to rob the RAM for another box - don't worry we'll max that bad boy out -

Running with what software?

The first rocket based software will be going out today (Redalert). REDcine-X will be supporting it very soon when it goes out for it's first release.

The SDK will be release very soon and a number of developers are getting cards.

Does that imply that a Rocket enabled Redline release (accompanied by the Rushes front end) is also going out? That would make the system immediately useful..

 

[PatC]

yayyyy redrocket!

But it's better to look good than to feel good. (And you can't run FCP on that monster.)

yes, redline is tied to the same software base but the gui will be first and then redline following pretty close behind.

So you can just hit play in the new RA and bam.. plays on external monitor from 4K High RT ?

 

[Kevin Wild]

That's the plan, Simon, as far as I know. They said there would be a realtime downconvert to HD, so you can immediately play it back onto a pro monitor, Plasma, etc.

Great!!!

rocket and 6 pin

rocket and 6 pin

Just curious if you had to connect the 6 pin power connector for the MAC version or not.

Reason is, if there is an upgraded video card that uses the two on-board 6 pin, if it would get in the way.

BTW, that awesome packaging alone makes me want to buy it

 

[Jeff Kilgroe]

Joseph,

The 6-pin aux power connector requirement has been eliminated!

 

[Tim Fassnacht]

So Mark- I'm sure you're eyes are bleeding by now... Any test results?? Can't wait to hear.

Cheers!
