Fast CinemaDNG Processor

Fastvideo company has released Fast CinemaDNG Processor software for realtime RAW image processing on NVIDIA GPUs for post production tasks. This is actually CinemaDNG converter, denoiser, editor, trimmer and player on CUDA. Brief overview of Fast CinemaDNG Processor features:

• 4K CinemaDNG processing at 24-30 fps
• 8K DNG photo editing with fast response
• High performance DNG decoding on CPU
• MLV player, viewer, converter, transcoder
• RAW Curves and Levels before demosaicing
• High quality demosaicing with MG algorithm
• High speed denoising for raw, luma and chroma
• No proxies, 4K dailies can be processed in realtime
• Smooth and scalable Player for CinemaDNG footages
• Software for footage Culling and Reviewing before editing

Fast CinemaDNG Processor is intended to work as supplementary software for Adobe Premiere Pro and Blackmagic DaVinci Resolve to insure some features which are absent in these products.

Hardware Requirements Standard CPU: Intel Core i7 4770 or better Recommended CPU: Intel Core i7 5930 or Xeon with 6 cores or more Minimum GPU: NVIDIA GeForce with 2 GB memory Standard GPU: GeForce GTX 980, 1080 (memory 4-8 GB) Recommended GPU: Quadro M5000, M6000 (memory 8-16 GB) RAM 16-32 GB SSD or RAID to insure fast reading with performance 250-300 MB/s or better Calibrated monitor with resolution from Full HD to 4K

Camera Support for CinemaDNG Workflow on CUDA The software supports DNG/CinemaDNG files, produced either by DNG-enabled digital cameras or by Adobe software such as Adobe DNG Converter or Adobe Lightroom according to DNG 1.4 specification. Current list of supported cameras could be found here. Fast CinemaDNG software also supports 8/10/12/14/16-bit DNG and PGM images with Bayer pattern created by 3rd-party applications, including Blackmagic Design CinemaDNG RAW 3:1 and 4:1 formats.

Benchmarks for NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Standard pipeline for rendering of 12-bit CinemaDNG footage with 2.5K resolution on GPU GeForce GTX 1080 could be done at frame rate 150 fps and for 4K we can get 60 fps (CinemaDNG and processed data reside in CPU memory, without denoising and sharpening).
