NextComputing Unveils Portable Stereoscopic 3D Workflow Solution for RED

Los Angeles, Calif. - NextComputing, makers of high-performance portable and small footprint computers, showcased a new solution for managing stereoscopic 3D footage from RED cameras. Running Assimilate Scratch Cine with the Nvidia Quadro FX 3800 SDI by PNY and dual RED Rocket accelerator cards, this system is designed for managing all aspects of the data workflow for stereoscopic RED production on set.
Audience demand for stereoscopic 3D content has grown dramatically in the last 12 months, and is expected to climb considerably. However, significant challenges remain in producing this content cost effectively. Tools must be in place at the earliest stages of the process to ensure that the camera footage is managed properly.

By teaming with Assimilate and PNY Technologies, NextComputing has developed a solution that allows stereoscopic productions shot on RED to achieve a full post-production data management and processing workflow on set. Users can ingest, review, color correct, generate dailies, and offload to any disk-based or tape-based media in one system, without ever leaving the film set.

The solution combines:
NextComputing’s NextDimension Evo Plus HD, Nvidia Quadro FX 3800 SDI by PNY, RED Hardware Acceleration, and Scratch Cine v5.0 from Assimilate.
