  • 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 :)

Sneak peek Alpha builds for you guys... this opens up another lane on the ROCKET-X card to give a 20% speed boost as well as adds Monochrome support and AJA IO 4K and Kona 4 support.

This is Alpha so it will likely crash along the way.. specially if you are using a HP Z620.



Rocket-X driver 2.1.16.0 + firmware 1.3.17.0:
* Up to 20% speed improvement
* Added support for Mysterium-X & Dragon Monochrome
* Stability improvements


Known issues:
* BSOD can occur on Windows when installing the driver. Installing the driver a second time should fix the issue.
* Potential incompatibility with the HP Z620

REDCINE-X PRO 31.1 Alpha:
* Added: Rocket-X Monochrome support.
* Added: Support for AJA Io 4K and Kona 4 (Note: removes support for Kona 3).
* Note: Rocket-X support requires driver 2.1.16.0 and firmware 1.3.17.0
* Fixed: Issue with OpenEXR upscaled exports when using CUDA.
* Fixed: Issue with QuickTime mono audio layout exports.
* Fixed: Issue with Avid external audio exports.

great! Nice unexpected upgrade.
 
Awesome great to hear!

May have a Dragon Feature coming up, will have to run some tests. I'm still trying to figure out how to get my scopes to show sometimes it pops up and most of the time it doesn't. Checked my Preference and all, so weird, my laptop shows them but the desktop is not.

BUILD 30 Cine-X and Driver v2.1.12.0 have been the most stable for my system no crashes and fast renders with 6k FF even when cropping


Thx Red Team keep them updates coming.


Also....Will RR-X work with the sensor after Dragon?

Are you looking for a specific set of rates, multipliers or just arbitrary?

Rob,

the same that are available during in camera playback would be awesome. Its just a nice check when doing time-lapse work to verify the footage is ok. If its possible to input a specific speed.. say have a drop down with 2x 4x 8x 16x and an input to change it to whatever is needed if its 8.3x, 3.2x, etc.

Thanks!!
 
This card keeps getting better. That transcoding speed should be even better now.

Any update soon on the display output?

Thank you very much

very cool stuff, love my rocket x already the speed is amazing! now it will be an even better commodity vs cpu/gpu encoding!
 
Hey guys, here's a quick speed test I did a few minutes ago...
Clip - 6KHD - 2 minutes, 44 seconds
Going from a mbp internal ssd with TB2 to a USB 3.0 G drive
RR-X is in a Echo Express 3D expansion chassis with TB2
Time to transcode to Quick time pro res HQ

1 minute, 13 seconds

pretty fucking fast and it's not even an optimal drive set up.

Way to go RED team.

What resolution are you transcoding to - 1080?
 
What was the speed for transcoding, without the card? Did you have all files on the same drive?


How was playback, vs. no card?
Thank you very much

What framerate and compression? Assuming you shot 24 or 30fps you're getting roughly 50-60FPS transcode via TB2?
 
I was transcoding to 1920x1080
as for transcoding frame rates, I'm not sure about that. All I could figure out was that it was more than 2x real time...
The compression for the shot was 8:1...
And everything was 23.98 fps

As for playback, I'm not sure what's going on but it still slows down when playing back off the mbp internal ssd...I didn't get a chance to play it off of any external drives,
but I thought that an internal ssd would be faster than anything I had laying around the house.
