GLOBALSTOR SYSTEM OFFERS 4K PLAYBACK

REDe is designed for situations that require playback capability of Red digital cinema content in realtime at high resolution. Previously, users had to play back Red footage at 2K resolutions and then render out the Red content into 2K or 4K frames. While prior systems allowed for 2K uncompressed content, Globalstor’s REDe 4K solution allows users play back uncompressed 4K material.

The REDe 4K workstation will be available in rack and tower versions with capacities ranging from 1.4TB to 9TB. The system incorporates Nvidia’s Quadro Plex 2200 D2 and uses Assimilate’s Scratch data-centric workflow solution for playback.
