Home router for 4K over Wi-Fi
Quantenna By Adrian Pennington
As the number of wireless devices in the home increases, so does the importance of reliable, fast Wi-Fi to stream bandwidth-intensive data. Enter the ASUS RT- AC87, claimed as the world’s first Wave 2 802.11ac consumer router and the fastest5GHz model with speeds up to 1.73Gbps. It is powered by Quantenna’s QSR1000 4x4 Multi-User Multiple Input Multiple Output (MU-MIMO) chipset and uses four external antennas and Universal Beamforming to maximise range throughout the home or office, improving signal strength and performance even to older 802.11a/b/g/n
clients. Previous 802.11n and 802.11ac routers can stream to only one device at a time. The router, retailing for $270 in the US, is capable of reaching speeds up to 1.73Gbps, ideal for HD video, ultra-low-latency gaming and heavy file sharing. Its breakthrough MU-MIMO technology enables it to stream rich
content to multiple devices in every corner of a home, in full 1080p or 4K Ultra HD.
The ASUS AiCloud 2.0 is an exclusive application that
turns the router into a powerful personal cloud server. Files stored on the network, on attached USB storage devices or on ASUS WebStorage are synchronized for file sharing by sending a link via email, text message or social- networking apps. MS36, 2.A08
Goldcrest Post expands with DaVinci Blackmagic Design By Carolyn Giardina
London’s Goldcrest Post has continued its expansion with the addition of three new DI grading suites featuring Blackmagic Design’s DaVinci Resolve 11. “This new post production infrastructure demonstrates our commitment to entering the UK picture post arena,” said Goldcrest Post managing director, Patrick Malone. The company’s colourists roster includes Adam Glasman, Rob Pizzey and Lee Clappison. The DaVinci Resolve workflow for Goldcrest’s main DI suites relies on multiple 4GPU Linux DaVinci Resolves for editing and grading, and also includes multiple 1 GPU Linux and Mac Resolves for preparation and lab work. Goldcrest’s two main DI suites feature a 10 metre throw with 6.5 metre screens and Barco projectors. All DaVinci Resolve workstations are connected to a half Petabyte SAN media storage system for
Resolve 11: “Efficient and flexible workflow”
playback and realtime grading for multiple 4K streams. Blackmagic reseller Jigsaw24
proposed the highest specification DaVinci Resolve servers to run the grading and online suites, all on Linux. “This ensured a uniformity across the creative suites, providing easier support and interoperability in the facility,” said Jigsaw’s Jamie Allan. “The grading and online systems were all built identically, so online playback could be achieved in realtime, without the need for rendering from a grade. All of the systems are powered
by Nvidia Titan GPU processing cards.”
Added Goldcrest Post’s chief technology director, Laurent Treherne, who oversaw the upgrade: “Using DaVinci Resolve throughout our editorial pipeline has given us a more efficient and flexible workflow because we are using a centralised database. DI, online editing and conform can now be done using the same project files without the need to render any files or translate and check XML data.” 7.H20
