da Vinci Systems Introduces Resolve R-3D

da Vinci
unveiled an updated version of its Resolve R-series digital-enhancement suite
designed expressly to meet the challenges of stereoscopic-3D processing. Based
on da Vinci’s C.O.R.E. (CUDA Optimized Resolve Engine) processing
technology, the Resolve R-3D enables colorists to exercise maximum creativity
while performing in-context grading for the next-generation visual experience.
The da Vinci team in collaboration with post-production studios has developed the R-3D specifically to meet the
challenges of nonlinear grading in 3D. The R-3D features a toolset that automates and simplifies the copying of grades required for
working in 3D, making grading in 3D truly interactive for the first time.
Visitors to da Vinci’s IBC stand, 7.31C, have a chance to experience the R-3D
in a private demo suite equipped with 3D glasses.
“Improvements
in technology are enabling stereoscopic-3D content creation to take off in an
exciting way that promises to have a profound influence on the industry as a
whole,” says Dean Lyon, director of marketing at da Vinci. “Recognizing this,
all the major studios have built content divisions around stereoscopic
projects, and da Vinci customers will be able to respond. No one has more
experience with 3D color grading and image enhancement than we do, so it is
only natural that da Vinci could develop an imaging suite with the targeted
power and features of the R-3D.”
The da
Vinci R-3D suite offers flexible, real-time throughput of nonlinear images in
film, TV, and commercial applications. With the introduction of
C.O.R.E., da Vinci has leveraged the power and efficiency of GPUs not merely
for graphics display but also for processing power, thus surmounting the
complex, computation-intensive challenges inherent in color finishing.
In
addition to the R-3D, new additions to the Resolve R-series line unveiled at
IBC2008 include the R-100, a feature-packed cost-effective suite that is fully
scalable and upgradeable; and the R-4K, a real-time, 4K interactive color
grading solution.
