AMD FirePro W-series Announced

Assimilate Scratch v6 users can now experience unbeaten performance and productivity with the support of AMD’s new FirePro™ W8000 and V7900-SDI graphics cards operating in conjunction with advanced Scratch v6-based digital intermediate and cinematic finishing workflows.
Scratch artists now gain the flexibility and performance to effortlessly keep up with the most rigorous and complex of DI processing pipelines.
The unrivalled performance is due to outstanding GPU acceleration performance and the low-latency frame synchronisation between AMD FirePro™ W-series graphics cards and third-party SDI I/O hardware. Scratch v6 users will also benefit from the rock-solid confidence, monitoring and colour accuracy required for colour grading and final conform stages of even the most demanding film and television projects.
AMD’s workstation graphics provide powerful hardware support for Scratch’s advanced GPU-accelerated features such as motion blur and retiming effects, as well as real-time, full-resolution decoding of Sony’s F65 4K camera clips.
Assimilate now fully supports AMD’s DirectGMA technology which enables full compatibility with third-party SDI I/O hardware from vendors including AJA, Blackmagic and Bluefish444.
