RED Rocket update...

[Robert Frank]

Please excuse my ignorance, but from what I understand, FCP currently does not support 4K files. If I am wrong, please excuse me. If I am not, then how does it interface with FCP?

Thanks,

Nick.

Ah.. hmm... right. Hope FCS3 is coming!

I just read this again.

The Quicktime component for R3Ds will support RED Rocket also. Any app that uses the REDcode QTs will also get accelerated (including FCP).

So it sounds like 4k is scaled to 2k within FCP using the Quicktime R3D component.

this is awesome news. when can we order? will they ship in quantity early on?

 

[Emery Wells]

Wow awesome!! Please sign me up for a handful.

 

[Joseph Ward]

Works for laptops?

REDrocket has a built in scalar so while the card is processing full 4k, it can scale it down to 2k to send back to FCP.

is it will work with color ?

 

[Warren Kommers]

Will this card work in significantly accelerating future 5k,6k resolutions?

Will this card work in significantly accelerating future 5k,6k resolutions?

My question as well. No mention of 5K / 25fps in this update. Is that still planned in the spec?

Thanks much,

Thanks much,

That will be another $5,000

RED Rocket board with Quad DVI and Dual Link HD-SDI- $4750

Decode and debayer 4K R3D files realtime. Hyper-accelerated transcode to any system codec.

Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FCP does support sequences all the way up to 4000x4000 pixels (via Custom setting), just shy of 4K cine (4096). Color is limited to 2K (2048x1556 Super35) though...

Deanan - I hope You are testing this with FCS3... :devil:

So will transcoding times be faster than real-time at a full debayer? Will a half debayer be selectable for super fast transcodes?

Also, in FCP, will it decode one stream at a time or will it allow multiple streams?

As mentioned before, what type of PCI Express card is it? x1, x4, x8, x16?

Thanks!!!

Will there be a separate player application or will it use something like REDCine to play out to a deck? If so then is there going to be an update to REDCine along with the release of this card?

 

[Chris Newman]

Can you put two in your machine to double the juice?

Is this how you could get real-time dissolves and composites?

Transcoding involves many pieces outside of REDrocket (transcoding app, codec running on the cpu, cpu speed, bandwidth to cpu, bandwidth to disk, etc) however REDrocket will run faster than realtime if the rest of the system is keeping up.

 

[Chris Parker]

i like what daenan just said. sadly, it made my pants wet.

faster than realtime. whoa.

 

[Brian Kaz]

Deanan, is it reasonable to assume Red Rocket will work with the newly 4k capable Vegas NLE?

Hell yeah! (translated: any software using the SDK will be able to take advantage of REDrocket)

 

[Sanjin Jukic]

Hope that it will work on:

Mac Pro
Model Identifier: MacPro2,1
Processor Name: Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Processor Speed: 3 GHz

and later newer models>>>
