DaVinci Resolve 8.2 for Windows - Public Beta now available ...

[Neil W. Smith]

So for all of you that have been wondering what Peter and his team have been up to for the last few months ... the wait is over .... DaVinci Resolve 8.2 Beta 1 for Windows is now available for public consumption!

Both the full Windows version and the Lite version are available for downloading:

Go check it out ... the Lite version is free!

We've been testing it for a while now ... grading a stereo 3D feature on it as we speak ... plus EPIC footage .... plus Arri ... plus Sony 4k .... the performance on a Windows 7 system with 3 x Quadro 6000 is incredible! .... unreal to say the least.

Once again Blackmagic leads the way ... these guys know what they're doing ... you do not need to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to get a state-of-the art color correction system ... Resolve on Windows will blow you away.

We're hosting an Open House this Saturday on The Lot in West Hollywood ... RedHeads might not want to come along ... it involves an 8k imaging camera from another company (sorry) ... but we will be demonstrating DaVinci Resolve on Windows grading 4k DPX files in real time ... plus some other cool goodies.

4k digital acquisition and file-based workflow comes of age this weekend ... Resolve on Windows is the way forward!

Thanks Neil. Is your system performance based on staying pretty close to the Blackmagic specs or is your system your own unique configuration. Will your event be posted online, for those not able to attend?

I have played around with it a bit, and the performance is quite incredible - even with a single GPU. Haven't been able to knock it out of real-time on 1080p footage yet.

Great news!

Can you render back to prores?

Can you render back to prores?

Can't do that without a Mac.

But the Avid DNxHD codec is also 10bit, free, and cross platform.

has anyone tried the beta version of Windows with Redrocket 1.4.19?
I can not go with a simple realtime 4K R3D, OSX Lion there are no problems.

So does this use multiple CUDA cards in an SLI configuration, for example? could you use 3x GTX 590s?

Resolve supports multiple GPUs on all platforms out of the box (up to eight I believe on Linux with infiniband connections between expansion chassis). No SLI needed.

I think Tom's question was whether Resolve recognizes both GPUs in a dual-GPU card like GTX 590. The two GPUs inside these cards are connected by internal SLI feeding into a single PCI-e slot, rather than two GPUs connected to two PCI-e slots, as is traditional multiple GPU configurations. The internal SLI works well for gaming, but a lot of compute oriented software fail to recognize GTX 590 as two GPUs.

A very pertinent question - easy way to get 8 GPUs working on affordable motherboards without any expansion.
