THE NEW VISION FOR REMOTE VFX WORKING
Create without compromise with the HP Z4R – designed for high-performance media and entertainment applications
Tested, optimised and certified to power complex workflows, Z by HP high-performance workstations are engineered to outperform a typical PC. Get more done with extremely reliable devices and hybrid work solutions designed for demanding projects. From data analysis and visualisation to real-time rendering, 3D design and animation — Z by HP Workstations drive the heaviest professional workflows. The HP Z4R offers HP’s best-selling Z4 workhorse in a 1ru chassis with high-performance processor options plus dual extreme graphics support.

Lee Danskin, Chief Technology Officer at Escape Technology expresses the new vision for remote VFX workflows
This is a pivotal moment and will change the way you work today.
You’ve probably heard of USD - Universal Screen Description from Pixar. You’ve probably heard of or even tested Omniverse from NVIDIA. You might have used some remote workstations or virtualised workstations, like the incredible HP’s Z4Rs. All of these constituent parts can support a globalised workforce - a virtualised workforce - in a unique fashion and single space.
Not all remote desktop software or display protocols are created equal
If you have ever accessed a remote workspace, you have used a remote display protocol. Teradici connects users to their remote desktops and workstations, delivering a highly responsive, colour-accurate, lossless and distortion-free experience for even the most graphics-intensive workloads. Teradici does it through the PCoIP protocol, which ensures that an organisation’s data and content never leave a secure data centre. Awarded an Emmy by the Television Academy for Engineering Development, Teradici is the gold standard in remoting software for performance, security and deployment flexibility.

In this new world, the device in the artist’s hand is almost irrelevant. The device they’re connecting to is where all of the work is being done. The historical challenge has been moving data from one location to another, whether that’s geographically or from

storage to workstation on premises. We are already at a point where we can leave that data in one place.
Stream the pixels, not the data
In this new virtualised workflow, if the compute and the storage are together in one place, the artist can look at and work on a stream of pixels coming from that storage and workstation. The artist can see the cinematic image without moving the data. You can have a decentralised workforce across Europe working collaboratively without any perceptual lag or latency.
This is a very different VFX pipeline with inherent version control and better security. The data never leaves the data centre.
Rendering in Real-Time in the Cloud
The NVIDIA’s RTX virtual workstation combined with NVIDIA’s super-fast GPUs allows the artist to render photorealistic images in real time as the sequence or shot plays back. If the artist can iterate so much faster by using the RTX Renderer, the artist is no longer waiting ten, twenty minutes to review that
