Adobe and NVidia have some great announcements at NAB this week, the new Creative Suite 5.5 from Adobe with improved support for NVidia’s Fermi GPU’s. Adding several new cards to their “officially supported list”, and several new bells and whistles to their capabilities in the new Mercury Playback Engine, they’ve got some impressive new reasons to crack open your wallet.
“With Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5 and the Adobe Mercury Playback Engine, Adobe is continuing to lead the industry in non-linear editing workflow innovation —and NVIDIA GPUs deliver even more productivity gains for our users,” said Bill Roberts, director of video and audio product management, Adobe.
Added Roberts, “With CS5.5 we are dramatically expanding the range of NVIDIA graphics cards that are supported by the Mercury Playback Engine from 11 to 19 — thereby empowering an even greater number of video professionals to be as creative as their imaginations will let them be, with no constraints on what’s possible. We’re making the dreams of any production professional a reality today.”
Featuring six gigabytes of graphics memory, the most in the industry, the NVIDIA Quadro 6000 is a boon to those working with complex video editing projects, such as ultra-high resolution 4K RED raw video streams, and RED decoding using RED Rocket. For the first time, users can decode and debayer 4K R3D, and play full quality 2K video scaled from 4K footage in real-time with RED Rocket and Quadro solutions.
Adobe team sure knows how to put things up. I always use their softwares esp. photoshop. I always look forward to their new release just like this. More power to them.
