"This isn't just deploying a new technology; this is leaving
an everlasting mark on our culture."
Robert Murphy, Director of Marketing, Verari Systems,
Inc.
"The arrival of AMD64 technology and these powerful new AMD Opteron™
processors promise to help create a more open, democratized, and creatively
driven film industry," says Robert Murphy, director of marketing at Verari,
Inc.
"Where in the past only a few independent film makers could afford access
to these tools, now everyone can." Tools that were previously available
only on $50,000 workstations are now on $5,000 workstations. Digital processes
are adding speed and flexibility to every step of film creation, and the
AMD Opteron processor enables all of these tasks to be accomplished more
quickly and reliably.
For Verari, the AMD Opteron processor opened the door to a new business
segment. Within a few months of introduction, Verari was supplying AMD
Opteron processor-based workstations and servers to world leaders in the
film and media industry. Murphy stresses that the processor's HyperTransport™
technology makes an equally important contribution. "With HyperTransport,
we can move data and manipulate it in ways that previous high-performance
RISC architectures simply couldn't. The AMD Opteron processor leaves them
in the dust."
"A single artist now has the tools to compete creatively with the largest
media conglomerates."
Steinberg Media Technologies
"Our artists use a lot of processor-intensive VST instruments
and effects to create their sound. Performance limitations of conventional
CPUs often affect their creative freedom. This just hasn't been the case
with AMD64 technology-based processors."
Dave Fabian, Managing Director, Steinberg North America
SoftImage
Maximum flexibility, limitless creative possibilities and reduced
production time make SOFTIMAGE|XSI and SOFTIMAGE|XSI BatchUniversal the
leading nonlinear 3D environment and rendering management solution in
the high-end film industry.
By pairing Softimage technology with the exceptional power and versatility
of AMD Opteron processor-based systems from Verari, visionaries like Robert
Rodriguez and Troublemaker Studios bring ideas to the screen faster and
with greater ease than ever before.
Rodriguez's films Once Upon a Time in Mexico and Spy Kids 3D: Game Over
demanded not only the superior creative possibilities afforded by SOFTIMAGE|XSI,
but the raw processing power and dependability of AMD64 technology and
Verari.
