RED Z820 Workstation - RED And HP's Joint Effort To Develop A Powerful Computer

RED needs no introduction, given its supremacy in the field of cameras and accessories. Now that RED makes some of the most advanced and powerful video cameras in existence, it triggers the need for a really powerful computer to handle the massive video files. So it joined hands with HP to build the RED Z820 workstation, complete with 16 liquid-cooled CPU cores, custom RED Mag card readers and RED Rocket acceleration cards.

The RED Mag is the company's proprietary storage format for devices, so an integrated RED Mag reader will be good enough to lure the RED loyalists. And the built-in RED Rocket card will allow the editors to decode video with up to 5K resolution, and play back 4K footage in real-time (scaled to 2K on a monitor).

The Intel Xeon cores each run at speeds up to 3.2 GHz Just like the ones in the standard Z820 workstation, while the motherboard is equipped to handle 32 gigs of RAM and an NVIDIA Quadro 5000 GPU. The other features that can be found in the deivce are a Blu-Ray burner, 300 gigabyte boot drive. The only problem is that any RAID array will need to be added by either ProMax or Tekserve, who will be reselling these devices coming July onwards.
