Maximus for Media and Entertainment

TRANSFORM YOUR MEDIA-CREATION WORKFLOW

Digital video professionals are always looking for easier, faster ways to deliver great results. For example, working with more video streams and high-resolution camera formats, adding effects without slowing the system to a crawl, or working interactively with complex modeled characters or scenes that include real-world physics and effects.

For most digital media professionals, time is money. Using the most powerful workstation can make a tremendous difference in delivering the fastest results with the least possible production costs. Industry-standard applications such Adobe Premiere Pro, Autodesk 3ds Max and Maya, Assimilate SCRATCH, and DaVinci Resolve enable multiple layers of digital effects. These include physical simulations such as cloth, hair, and water, as well as advanced image analysis and video encoding.

Maximus technology addresses these challenges by combining NVIDIA Quadro® and NVIDIA Tesla® GPUs to deliver both high-performance graphics and parallel processing. This is a truly unique technology that helps transform video editing, effects, digital animation, rendering, and media-creation workflows.

SUPPORT FOR MORE LAYERS AND EFFECTS

NVIDIA Maximus technology provides editors with more effects, more layers, and faster encoding while working with more elements in real time.

COMBINE ANIMATION AND SIMULATION

NVIDIA Maximus technology helps digital animators realize a significant increase in interactivity for simulations, while simultaneously working with 3D objects.

WHAT THE EXPERTS ARE SAYING

"The Maximus system has changed my life. Its effect on my work and my life is nothing short of revolutionary."

Steve Taylor, Digital Spatulas' Founder

"With the Maximus system, no matter how many colors or modes or effects our colorists throw at a scene, they still get real-time playback."

Lance Holte, Bandito Brothers' Senior Director of Post-Production

"I cannot describe in words how excited we are about what the Maximus platform can do… Everything worked seamlessly, there were no bugs or glitches, and the software processing loads were perfectly balanced. And amazingly, we were suddenly able to work in real time."

James Fox, Owner of Dawnrunner
