GEC NEWS WIREMistika powers up with NVIDIA to increase interactivity and HFR support
SGO today announced that it has certified the enterprise-class NVIDIA Quadro K6000 professional graphics card for use with its high-end colour grading and finishing system Mistika. Its performance will be boosted with the addition of NVIDIA’s latest GPU, which offers Mistika users over two times increased throughput. As Mistika runs with “off the shelf” hardware, users can benefit by simply upgrading their GPU board to the new Quadro K6000.
Mistika currently uses HPZ820 Workstations, equipped with NVIDIA Quadro K6000 GPUs exclusively to accelerate post workflows, offering customers a formidable combination. SGO’s highly optimised programming and NVIDIA’s incredible graphics processing has enabled Mistika to provide ground-breaking real-time post-production environments for 4K, Stereo 3D and high-frame-rate productions.
“A key aspect of Mistika is that it runs on readily accessible hardware benefiting directly from the vast resources a company like NVIDIA has at its disposal to create the world’s fastest-ever GPU. Existing Mistika users can swap out their current graphics board for the new Quadro K6000 in order to enjoy an instant boost to their productivity, and with a cost-effective outlay,” said CEO, SGO, Miguel Angel Doncel.
NVIDIA GPU Quadro K6000 boards will be supported in Mistika’s V7.4 software, including 60fps, released in September at IBC at the SGO Booth A11, Hall 6.
“SGO is leveraging NVIDIA GPUs and the CUDA programming model to enable breakthrough storytelling,” said Sandeep Gupte, Senior Director of Product Marketing for the Quadro Professional Graphics Business, NVIDIA. “The combination of SGO’s toolset and their ability to convert GPU resources into workflow acceleration so efficiently makes Mistika and the Quadro K6000 an incredibly exciting solution for 4K, stereo and HFR workflows.”
