FusionIO making a Splash at SIGGRAPH

If you swing by the NVidia booth at SIGGRAPH you’ll see one major eye catching feat: A single workstation driving 12 full HD displays with uncompressed 1080P video simultaneously, thanks to the NVidia QuadroPlex 7000 and FusionIO.

“Working with Fusion-io, we’ve created an impressive, large-scale visualization technology demonstration at SIGGRAPH for show attendees,” said Jeff Brown, general manager, Professional Solutions Group, NVIDIA. “By combining Fusion’s ioMemory technology with our powerful QuadroPlex 7000, we’re demonstrating how to enable real-time color correction and processing of a dozen simultaneous uncompressed HD video streams – without being bottlenecked by disk speeds.”

In addition, you can head over to the Autodesk, Thinkbox, and Tweak booths to see similar demonstrations: Massive datasets being processed real-time thanks to the mind-blowing bandwidth available in the FusionIO SSD system.

Shotgun & Thinkbox to Integrate Project & Deadline Management

A bit announcement from NAB in the rendering space, Shotgun Software has announced their intent to integrate their impressive web-based project management and collaboration package (discussed here) with Thinkbox Software’s great Deadline render queue management package (discussed here). Both tools offer some great features to users, and together they’re guaranteed to be a huge success.

The Shotgun and Deadline integration enables a seamless render and review data flow. When Deadline starts a render, a “Version” is automatically created in Shotgun with key metadata. When the render is complete, Deadline updates Shotgun with a thumbnail image, paths to frames, render stats, and playback links. Shotgun then dispatches out targeted notifications with links back to the work. Studios can then view the Versions in various contexts, create reports, and organize work into Playlists for review sessions where they can quickly take Notes with Shotgun’s “Note App.”

The system is already available to Deadline users on active maintenance subscriptions, and will be included in the upcoming Deadline 5.

Get all the details after the break.
