RedRocket integration by Maquise Technologies : MIST

[Damien Molineaux]

Hi,
We just got a visit from Dan Tatut, previously from Chrome Imaging, makers of the high end Matrix color correction solution. He recently founded a new company : "Marquise technologies" : http://www.marquise-tech.com

Their first product, rewritten form the ground up, is called MIST as in Media/Ingest/Stream/Transcode. It is based on Bluefish, NVidia and RedRocket hardware and allows realtime transcode of numerous formats, including .r3d

Marquise is aiming at a wider clientele than was Chrome Imaging (price wise). Their solution presently allows realtime primaries and they are working on a realtime full blown color correction software. A demo is planned, here in Geneva, before years end. I will keep you posted.

Cheers,
Damien Molineaux

seems to be a serious tool. Accidentally I found their group on FaceBook here: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=166901767102

apparently it can be used as virtual VTR for Red files. I'll try to get a demo and post some reviews here.

Ok.. I asked for a demo license for my new Mac Pro with 8 Cores! Eager to test it next week with some R3D files. Meanwhile, here are some screenshots stolen from their website. The UI shows some nice and sexy controls for the R3D clip color & denoise parameters.

While I am at it, is there anyone with a RedRocket in Switzerland? I'm seriously thinking about buying one myself..

Well, there's at least one at Marquise Technologies. We'll probably be aquiring one sometime in the begining of 2010, and I wouldn't be surprised if there were some others in other parts of Switzerland.

Cheers,
Damien

Hi guys!

thanks for your interest in our product.

RC9 is out with support for the RedRocket. Anyone willing to test is welcome and can request a demo license here: license@marquise-tech.com

Run in windows 7? Or vista? Work with redrocket windows drivers?

[dtatut]

@RRafael: for now it runs on XP and Win7. No plans for Vista. If you have a RedRocket, the Windows drivers must be installed in order to make it available to the software

I got my license for MIST and it's really a nice tool! Congratulations guys! The UI is gorgeous and my dual i7 Mac delivers great performance with the R3D files. I'm now seriously thinking about the Rocket but I do have some questions.

Do you guys only output on the SDI of the rocket? As far as I understand only the decoded images get displayed on the SDI but what about the extra color corrections? Do I need an Nvidia with SDI output or a BlueFish?

@Vince: we don't control directly the SDI out of the rocket. It outputs the decoded/scaled images by itself (depending on what you set as parameters). However if you need to use the extra color corrections tools in MIST, you will get the output only through the Nvidia's SDI output or the BlueFish SDI output.

I hope that answers your question.

So, does this run under OSX?
In case, what hardware specs?

Or under bootcamp?

Ditto?

Cheers!
