NVIDIA Adds Quadro CX to CS4

By DE Editors

NVIDIA (Santa Clara, CA) announced that professional video editors can now acquire a copy of Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 and add a NVIDIA Quadro CX at more than 40 percent off of the retail price, saving $800. This new bundle is $1,999 until March 31, 2009.

The addition of the Quadro CX will deliver unmatched performance with Adobe Premiere Pro CS4, including the ability to encode H.264 videos up to four times faster. Specifically, what once took 10 hours to encode a one-hour Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 project to H.264 on a Dual-Core CPU, now takes two hours and 35 minutes.

Following the introductory offer, the Quadro CX and Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 bundle will be available at an estimated street price of $2,299 (sold separately, the Quadro CX would sell at $1,999 (MSRP) and the Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 (for $799).

Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 users can take advantage of the Quadro CX GPU to accelerate high-quality video effects such as motion, opacity, color and image distortion. Quadro CX also enables faster editing of multiple high-definition video streams and graphic overlays and provides a variety of video output choices for high-quality preview, including DisplayPort uncompressed 10-bit or 12-bit SDI.
