NVIDIA Quadro CX for Quicker Adobe
Software
NVIDIA, a leading player in
visual computing technologies, is offering its new accelerator NVIDIA
Quadro CX for Adobe Creative Suite 4 software. The new GPU aims to provide
a faster computing option to developers. Quadro CX is designed to deliver
better performance for the new GPU-optimized features of Adobe Creative
Suite 4. It’s now available from leading resellers and retailers, for
$1,999.
"Photoshop users are always
looking for maximum performance, and we recognized that tapping into the
power of the GPU is one way to give it to them," said Kevin Connor, vice
president of product management for Professional Digital Imaging at Adobe.
"Thanks to NVIDIA's efforts to optimize the Quadro CX product for CS4,
users can be assured of a dramatically fast and fluid experience on tasks
such as panning, zooming, and rotating large images as well as
manipulating 3D content."
With NVIDIA Quadro CX users
can encode H.264 videos at faster speeds with the NVIDIA CUDA-enabled
plug-in for Adobe Premiere Pro CS4, RapiHD from Elemental Technologies;
accelerate rendering time for advanced effects; and accurately preview
what deliverables will look like with 30-bit color or uncompressed
10-bit/12-bit SDI before final output.
Adobe Creative Suite 4
software now has added optimization to take advantage of GPU technology,
including the parallel processing capability in the Quadro CX CPU. These
enhancements accelerate a number of visually intensive operations,
including:
-
Adobe Photoshop CS4
uses NVIDIA Quadro CX GPU to bring fluidity to image navigation. It also
taps the GPU for on-screen compositing of both 2D and 3D content,
ensuring smoothly anti-aliased results regardless of zoom level. Brush
resizing and brushstroke preview, 3D movement, high-dynamic-range tone
mapping, and color conversion are also accelerated by the GPU.
-
Adobe After Effects CS4
now has added optimization features to accelerate a variety of creative
effects, making it easier to add graphics and visual effects to video,
which allows the artist to quickly move from concept to final product
and to speed up the workflow. Effects accelerated include depth of
field, bilateral blur effects, turbulent noise such as flowing water or
waving flags, and cartoon effects. NVIDIA Quadro CX takes advantages of
these workflow enhancements.
-
Adobe Premiere Pro CS4
can take advantage of Quadro CX to accelerate high-quality video effects
such as motion, opacity, color, and image distortion. Quadro CX also
enables faster editing of multiple high-definition video streams and
graphic overlays and provides a variety of video output choices for
high-quality preview, including DisplayPort, component TV, or
uncompressed 10-bit or 12-bit SDI.
