RED LAUNCHES ROCKET

- R3D Decode, debayer and playback high quality realtime 4K at 30fps (or 5K at 25fps).

- Will accelerate FCP, Premiere, After Effects, RED Alert!, REDCINE, REDrushes or any application using the REDCODE SDK.

- PCI-Express, Output interfaces will include Quad-DVI and Quad-HD-SDI. Works with Mac, PC and Linux.

- Under $5k.

This is the same technology that DVS is showing at the show on their Clipster system. What this means is that 4K realtime from small files is an affordable reality. This also means that almost any third-party post tool can become 4K enabled.

Exciting, game-changing stuff from the company that announced a product that did not exist at NAB 2006.
