Assimilate has released SCRATCH RED Pre-Post

[Fredrik Harreschou]

I think this deserves it's own thread. Assimilate has released SCRATCH RED Pre-Post. From the PDF:

ASSIMILATE™ teams with RED DIGITAL CINEMA and Maxvision to deliver a fully featured, turnkey PrePost solution for RED ONE users. RED ONE and SCRATCH® complement each other for data capture to data post.

The SCRATCH RED PrePost System is optimized for the following processes.
Take REDCODE R3D files directly from any RED media and set up for:

• Shot management
• Dailies
• Direct output to tape with metadata burn-in
• Conform from offline
• Create basic color grading
• Generate LUTs to pass on through post/vfx process, or lab calibrated printer lights to interface with your film lab
• Generate outputs required to finish in post production
• Drive a projector for review sessions

"Ok, that's what we've been waiting for. The RED/SCRATCH combo. A SCRATCH except for Secondaries, Scaffolds and maybe not support for OFX, and no Finishing? Unfortunately (for me) it seems like its a turnkey system. If they sell the software only at special price though..."

hallo can you please explain what scaffolds and support for ofx are....
so i am able to understand the difference between redcine, red prepost and scratch finishing. never heard of scaffolds and supporting OFX

thank you

OFX: - an open plugin format developed by The Foundry. Used by Nuke, Scratch, Toxic etc. Opens up for 3rd party plugins in SCRATCH:

The ones I know about, also read rumors about Sapphires (www.genarts.com) being ported...

BTW, I'm not sure it doesn't have support for it, but it doesn't say in the PDF. EDIT: It says it does! From the pdf:
"OpenFX plugin support, background
processing and output processing to various image formats..."

Dunno, the MaxCube is listed at $16,437.00 here: http://www.maxvision.com/ruggedcomputers/maxcube.aspx

I would guess at least twice that for the turnkey system, but your guess is as good as mine...

Assimilate has been known to give quotes on request, maybe this is different.

Great!!!

For example I do not need "The Cube".

Maybe I could do it with Mac Pro together with "hardware hack" of
PNY NVIDIA Quadro® FX 5500 PCIE
running Windows XP SP2 + AvidVideo RTR 320 SCSI RAID 2TB
+ ATTO EXPRESS PCI UL5D DUAL-CHANNEL.

Hopefully Luki or someone from Assimilate will see this thread and answer some questions soon. They do sell the SCRATCH software by itself, I believe, so lets hope for a good price and the ability to run it on any system you wish.

I am still catching up to speed with the RedCine & Scratch...and I am already catching the fever, quite obvious this is going to be one of optimal post solutions.

Until Assimilate kicks in...mind telling me in a what is the Cube? I am also hoping to be able to install this on my next gen mac pros, is this just a fantasy?

On a side note, really digging the layout and flow of RedCine and it makes me want to go the scratch route. (All a part of there master plan?)

Sanjin, I heard from Assimilate employee (that was in IBC) that there is no adventage to use the quador fx 5500 over the 4500, the 5600 has some advantage.
BTW, normaly you get a quadro fx SDI with Scratch.
