  • 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 :)

RED Rocket

wow. Will it be possible for the card to work in conjunction with other cards like Aja IO HD or Kona 3 or will be there conflicts in Final Cut?
This way one could use Aja products for non-RED projects and accelerate at the same time R3Ds using the RED Rocket ...

Looks to me like it replaces those devices.

I heartly agree. All this smoking weed and explosions is pretty annoying.

Hans,

OK no more (head) explosions,

also I gave up smoking a long ago.

But a cigar is connected to Jean-Luc Godard

What computer doesn't need a normal video card?

Just because REDCode is accellerated doesn't mean the rest of your OpenGL needs will just dissapear. :D

I just thought that it could do it all with a cup holder... but it must be the... I have no clue what the name of this drink I made would be...

It very well could be one double wide card with two GPUs with + than 500 cores total and tons of DDR3...

hehe... look at this: http://www.evga.com/products/enlarge.asp?PN=017-P3-1294-AR&I=1
It looks the part :D
 
This will be a great product irrespective of the fuller spec sheet. I hope though that due attention is spent getting the decoded, de-bayered, colour transformed uncompressed stream scaled back into a usable file (rather than just out of a port). This is obviously the larger market.

The time to create good quality editorial files is all, very occasionally, that has stopped me using Red on some projects.
However others I know have found this the deal breaker.

If it is a DVS oem that should really help sell it... I spent a day with some of their engineers and they really know their hardware..

good luck

I wonder how long we'll have to wait for this. With Snow Leopard and a new FCP HOPEFULLY coming out at that time, I wonder if RED is announcing this a bit early. I hope not...we sure could use the speed increase TODAY.
 
We grade 4K realtime already...

It'll be interesting if ***processed*** data can be output via that RED Rocket card. THIS is the important thing. It helps us nothing if its just showing off camera captured unmodified RED deBayered footage with the basic SDK metadata settings. What we need is to see the result of gradings/composites. Our job is modifying footage.

This is the real challenge. Surely RED teams knows that, so I am curious how its actually solved. Any insights on this would be highly appreciated.

Looking forward to seeing some clearance in the field :)

PS: One thing I am missing: Which 4K display is "recommended" :) ?

That's what the rocket does is process - and yeah - you can take that processed data out to whatever - and I am standing next to Deanan and is confirming that.

4K realtime. Get use to it ... It's about to become ordinary.

RED Rocket.

R3D Decode, debayer and playback high quality REALTIME 4k at 30fps (or 5K at 25fps).

Will accelerate FCP, Premiere, After Effects, RED Alert!, REDCINE, REDrushes or any application using the REDCODE SDK.

PCI-Express, Output interfaces will include Quad-DVI and Quad-HD-SDI. Works with Mac, PC and Linux.

Under $5k.

haha thats so funny I just asked about that last week you answered all my questions that day but went silent on this one sweet.:head_explode::thumbsup:
 
Hi Mark,

thanks for the info. As you are next to Deanan (beggin mode ON)...

Is all the data being send to the card only RGB or can it be RAW as well?
Because many systems now use GPU based systems - and sending back RGB data at 4K from the GPU is ***something*** (roughly 1.5 GByte/s?)

Is it just specs, or will there be/are there working cards being shown?

Cheers,
Axel

What about Red Ray? How does Red Rocket compare to Red Ray?
Click to expand...

Sorry if this has been answered, but I didn't see any answers when I skimmed through the post.

From what has been announced (quite a while though), Red Ray is a stand-alone (no computer needed) video player that plays 4K footage off DVDs. Red Rocket is for accelerating and displaying 4K and 5K footage from a computer - especially handy while editing.

I assume that RED will add an API to their SDK that will let editing and grading software send data to the display...
