NVIDIA Releases the GTX Titan

titan

I read about this amazing new video card in Maximum PC magazine.

This is the CUDA leap editors have been looking for without having to invest in the super expensive QUADRO line. Based on the Kepler GK110 instead of the GK104, this single processor card has twice the transistors and almost double the CUDA of the GTX 680! The GK110 are the chips used in the TESLA K20X GPU.

2688 CUDA cores in 14 SMX unites and 6GB of GDDR5 memory at 6GHz and a clock speed of 836MHz with a boost to 876Mhz and a 384 bit memory interface! Damn! And for $999. It also has GPU boost which will let you overclock it and have it change performance based on heat!

You can check it out over at NVIDIA’s home page as well. And Maximum PC has released Benchmarks as well, which show it not as fast as the dual processor GTX 690, though for a single CPU it is faster (though they are the same price), but it will likely be better for CUDA for NVIDIA which at least on a Mac can’t deal with the 2 processors of the GTX 690, though of course we can only hope to get this running on a Mac anyway!

PVC Early look of new Premiere Pro

Scott Simmons at the Pro Video Coalition has a 3 page look at the new Premiere Pro.

This is getting me even more excited. The best thing is actually way down in the article, that you can now view audio with one click or keystroke in the viewer! Woohoo! Back to FCP 7 style ease of audio editing in the viewer!

And i sure do hope my Behringer MIDI control surface will work and not just EUCON and Makie surfaces! Hopefully any MIDI surface will work! Please please please Adobe!!

I do love that they are listening, even if it seems to take a little while, it certainly is faster than Apple ever did, if they ever listened at all, which to me FCP X proves they have not.

Now I just hope more companies chose Adobe over AVID, especially with the NVIDIA GTX 680 coming out for Macs!

Vincent Laforet on the new MoVi handheld stabilizer

Just before NAB the new MoVi handheld stabilizer with gyro stabilization and accelerometers has been announced, and there is video from it and of it. It is $15000 and they are working on a smaller one for $7500.

Here is the short film Movi:

Here is the Movi rig in action:

Sounds very very cool! And the footage all looks amazing for being handheld. Pretty damn impressive. The world needs more of these so we get away from the horrible shaky cam that has become so prevalent of late! This could replace steady cam. And I bet you could make an amazing rig to attach it to your body and not make your arms quite so tired as well.

How if only someone could come up with one for much cheaper, though it certainly wouldn’t be as impressive. Wow.
