BOXX Technologies Inc., an innovator in high-performance computing systems for visual effects (VFX) professionals, today announced the immediate availability of the company’s new RTX 8400 Series, specifically designed to handle intense digital intermediary (DI) and compositing workloads. The RTX 8400 is powered by Dual Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® 5400 Series processors and offers the freedom to play back 4K, 2K, High Definition (HD), Standard Definition (SD) and High-Definition Video (HDV) at full resolution in real-time.
“We specifically designed the new RTX 8400 to work seamlessly with high-resolution dynamic media because we know that is a major challenge in television and film production. An important part of shooting for film or TV is the ability to quality check the material while you still have the opportunity to reshoot and well before it goes into post-production. RTX provides all the headroom to that” said Francois Wolf, director of marketing for BOXX Technologies. “Also, with its extraordinary integrated storage solution, the RTX 8400 puts all the sequences compositors need to assemble the final scene right at their fingertips. And that really drives creative interaction with the material.”
The RTX 8400 is optimized to take advantage of key features in popular DI, compositing and color grading applications such as ASSIMILATE™ SCRATCH® IRIDAS SPEEDGRADE®, Autodesk® Toxik™, Autodesk Combustion®, and eyeon Fusion®. The RTX features a high-performance, scalable, internal storage sub-system that achieves the high-speed disk throughput required for work with uncompressed multilayer 4K, 2K, HD, SD, or HDV material.
The innovative RTX chassis is designed to house up to 24 hot-swappable data drives in addition to two system drives. Using a RAID configuration, the drives can generate up to 1GB/s of storage throughput that rapidly loads high-resolution data in memory for DI or compositing work.
Pricing and Availability
The RTX 8400 Series can come configured as a 2K Review/Compositing Station or as a 2K Review Station with Capture capability from the camera. Both configurations can include either IRIDAS FramecyclerHD or ASSIMILATE SCRATCH and are available through BOXX and its worldwide network of resellers. Prices vary with system configurations. All BOXX products include the company’s renowned technical support, which ensures that professional visual content creators always get the most out of their investment.
