SCRATCH and its non-realtime in 4K.

[Andrew M.]

Programming in assembler is essentially a black art, practiced only by those who can do better than a compiler at optimizing code and those willing to risk some very deep and difficult bugs.

Yes, I know, my first programming language I have learned was Assembly language for 8088 Intel long time ago.

I gave up on it after Intel introduced virtual addressing, switched to C.
C supports direct Assembly language in the C structure itself. Ended up doing only malocs in the C and the rest in the Assembler, still using C compailer.
Good old times……………..

Hi laguun

Let's forget about Scratch is the only one that supports R3D, let's ASSUME that it doesn't have R3D support. And obviously price isn't a problem for you.

Scratch can't display 4K, that's the limitation, alright. By assuming that and comparing 4K RT RGB from Scratch vs other products. How do you think of its performance, Color grading feature, plugins, reconform feature, workflow, etc. Is other product better or Scratch better ? Again, let's take a point from 4K RGB performance and not including R3D format.

Iridas 2K is only 2K and it isn't 4K. What product of Iridas that support 4K (not 8K) ? From price point, what kind of product that you think is on the same level with Scratch and better.

I think this is the one.

http://www.dvs.de/Brochures/DVS_DI_Team.pdf
and this one
http://www.filmlight.ltd.uk/products/baselight

High performance
Real-time effects up to 4K RGB file sequences
Multiple video formats with real-time converting
Real-time JPEG2000 conversion
Internal RAID-5 protected high data rate storage

High quality:
Real uncompressed video up to 4K RGB 16 bit
Real-time effects in 16 bit
Original native content is directly used for real-time processing


Though I don't know how much it is. Can't find any prices again.
Lagun, do you know the price of CLIPSTER complete system?

LOL. You guys. I'm sure DVS, just as Assimilate, would love their prices to be (mis)quoted on reduser...

EDIT: Actually, I have to comment a bit on this - I have bit my tongue for months.
Laguun has stated ad nauseum his attitude towards Assimilate pricing policy.
Now you couldn't find prices on DVS or Baselight. Now try Autodesk systems. Same there. Iridas has the price for SpeedGrade HD on their website but not for SpeedGrade DI. That's not so uncommon as some people want it to be.

The last quote we got for a DVS Clipster 4k was about $130k

If you ship him out to NAB this year, I will put some beers in him ;)

Luki - I assume Gerk will there correct?

[I Bloom]

Just as a point of information:

DVS clipster does realtime uncompressed 4K it's true.
But this is 4K RGB completely uncompressed.
Not 4K Compressed Redcode Bayer Raw.

So regardless of the specifics of Scratch, a much less hardware dependent system. There is no realtime 4K Redcode system in existence... AFAIK... YET.

Don’t they support CineForm that is a RAW compressed?
