NVIDIA at IBC 2014

At IBC in Amsterdam this year, we showcased next-generation capabilities across NVIDIA GRID™, Quadro®, and Tesla® professional solutions.

We demonstrated a unique virtual camera technology showing how a filmmaker, tablet in hand, can walk through a live-action set and record actors as they perform, while simultaneously seeing fluid updates of computer-generated elements within the shot. This is enabled by an NVIDIA Tegra® K1-powered tablet, which connects to an NVIDIA Quadro-powered rendering application and streams computer-generated elements back to the tablet using NVIDIA GRID technology. We also showcased the latest NVIDIA Quadro GPUs, the newly shipping NVIDIA Visual Computing Appliance (VCA), and NVIDIA GRID vGPU™ technology. Read more on the NVIDIA blog.

Animation World Network, Creative Cow, and TVBEurope covered NVIDIA's presence at IBC. For more, watch an interview with Greg Estes at IBC on next-generation NVIDIA Quadro GPUs and new capabilities in mobile and cloud collaboration.
