NVIDIA Quadro® FX 4500 SDI by PNY is the graphic board of choice for Adobe® Users

NVIDIA and Adobe have established a strategic partnership that allows tighter integration between hardware and software solutions in order to support industry initiatives. NVIDIA Quadro professional graphic boards will offer Adobe users direct GPU acceleration capabilities that both increase application performance and enhance the video editing workflow through the newly announced Adobe® Production Studio.

Adobe Premiere® Pro 2.0 integrates GPU-accelerated desktop playback which dramatically enhances the workflow for editing HD video footage. Fundamental tasks, such as scaling and positioning multiple layers of video, color correction, and cross-dissolve effects are all driven interactively on the GPU through the power of pixel shaders.

Adobe After Effects® 7.0 builds upon a strong base of GPU acceleration in prior versions, by allowing artists to use the GPU for both high fidelity previews and final rendering. This latest version enables artists to work in a true 3D space, and offers comprehensive GPU acceleration of motion blur, lights, shadows, blending, color correction, and matting. After Effects 7.0 also takes advantage of the memory on NVIDIA Quadro graphics boards to improve video playback performance and duration.

In addition, NVIDIA has developed a plug-in for use with After Effects 7.0 for the NVIDIA Quadro FX 4500 SDI by PNY, an integrated graphics-to-video solution used by broadcast, video, and film professionals. This plug-in offers real-time preview of content being created, directly on standard or high definition SDI broadcast monitors, from within the After Effects 7.0 application environment.
