Nvidia and RED demonstrate 8K editing in real time

At the official launch of the new Nvidia CUDA-accelerated REDCODE RAW SDK at Linwood Dunn Theater in Hollywood, Hollywood, it was shown how the RED Monstro camera&s 24fps 8K (8,192 × 4,320) RAW footage was played, edited and color corrected on an HP Z4 workstation with a CPU and a Quadro RTX 6000 GPU in real time. The work with 8K video is accelerated by the fact that all computing processes necessary for decoding and debaying are outsourced to the GPU.

The NVIDIA high-end GPUs Titan RTX and GeForce RTX 2080 Ti also offer enough power for 8K realtime editing - making the use of the specialized RED Rocket-X transcoding card or multi-CPU systems superfluous. But also older, less powerful Nvidia GPUs of the Geforce, Titan or Quadro series accelerate the RED RAW workflow when working with 4K, 5K or 6K material.
