BOXX RTX Workstation for Stereoscopic Workflows

Boxx Technologies' upcoming RTX motion media workstation was selected by two software developers, Assimilate and Iridas, as the hardware platform for demonstrating stereoscopic workflows at NAB 2009 in Las Vegas. Assimilate featured Scratch running on the RTX, while Iridas employed RTX to showcase its FrameCycler and SpeedGrade applications.
Available this month as either a rackmount system with 24 SAS or SATA drives or a desk-side model with 10 storage drives, RTX models feature a number of hardware RAID storage configurations, says a representative. The RTX workstation is engineered for high-resolution motion media workflows, enabling users to review digital dailies in uncompressed HD, 2K, 4K, and 2K stereo resolutions. It supports digital intermediate (DI) tasks, such as color grading and conforming, as well as visual effects and compositing workflows.

RTX will be offered in single socket (Intel Core i7) and dual socket (Intel Xeon Processor 5500 Series) "Nehalem"-based configurations.
