ASSIMILATE PRESS RELEASE:
October 15, 2009, REDucation, Los Angles, CA – Today at the
REDucation Community Day in Los Angeles, CA (Los Angles Center
Studios), ASSIMILATE™ announced its new, ROCKET FUEL bundle that
includes the needed tools for real-time ingest, conform, delivery and
output of RED ONE™ 4K digital camera material. Created specifically for
cost-sensitive indies, filmmakers, and post-production facilities, and
priced aggressively at $10,999 USD, ASSIMILATE's ROCKET FUEL includes
an Nvidia Quadro FX3800 SDI board, RED's RED Rocket card, and
ASSIMILATE's SCRATCH® CINE 4K post workflow.
The first integrated product solution to support RED ROCKET, and
offered exclusively by ASSIMILATE, the ROCKET FUEL bundle, along with a
PC-based workstation, gives anyone working with RED 4K material the
following workflow functionality:
• Tape dailies to a variety of formats, from NTSC and PAL, up to dual-link 2048X1080
• Screening in virtually all formats
• Accelerated data output to Quicktime and file sequences
• Quality check (QC) for on-set and for post dailies
• R3D conform from editorial EDLs
• Pan/Scan and Output in real time, with animated curves
• Set-up for SCRATCH FINISH – a low-cost method of getting timelines
set-up for migrating to FINISH for final mastering and delivery
• Set-up and transcode for DI – a low cost method of getting timelines set-up and rendered for migrating to other DI systems.
All this functionality, and more, is from full-resolution,
uncompressed, fully debayered and demosaiced 4K. Fully tested, SCRATCH
CINE v5.0 is a native 64-bit application with Win7 x 64 as the
operating system.
"The big news here is that with ROCKET FUEL, we've created a highly
affordable option for boosting the performance of 4K that didn't exist
until today. Aggressively priced – at half the cost of SCRATCH CINE
alone – it's the first product bundle for RED ROCKET that meets the
needs of the PC user," says Jeff Edson, CEO at ASSIMILATE. "When
considering the overall cost of a 4K workflow, this is a huge win for
all filmmakers and post houses who can now afford the essential tools
to push the performance of their 4K tools to the outer limits and
achieve high quality output comparable to 35mm."
As RED's first partner for a 4K post workflow, ASSIMILATE set the
post-production standard with SCRATCH for the needed real-time 4K post
workflows – simplified ingest of native REDCODE files, streamlined
end-to-end workflow, conform, color grading, finishing and mastering.
"We've earned our stripes as the go-to vendor for 4K post workflows,"
says Lucas Wilson, ASSIMILATE Director of Business Development. "We're
'out in the field' every day, working side by side or over-the-phone
with users to ensure their 4K workflows are optimized and running
smoothly. If they're not yet working in 4K, the ROCKET FUEL bundle is a
nice incentive to move to a powerful 4K workflow, create amazing
imagery, and stay competitive in the marketplace."
Price and Availability
Available in late October, ASSIMILATE's ROCKET FUEL is priced at
$10,999 USD. The ROCKET FUEL bundle includes SCRATCH CINE, an Nvidia
Quadro FX3800 SDI board, and RED Digital Camera's RED ROCKET card. To
