GORILLA TV CASE STUDY
staying in Resolve we are by default applying those changes on the bottom layer that ripples up through every version. That is why we’ve gone Resolve to Resolve – keeping it within one ecosystem - rather than a roundtripping conventional approach. It’s a much more elegant workflow.
“Keeping the project workflow on one platform that can online as well as grade (as well as doing other things) is a massive efficiency.”
Why did you choose the PL Ultimate Pro workstations?
“To optimise the performance we wanted from the Resolves, we needed workstations that could deliver the horsepower they need to work in real time. It is a bit of a cookbook building the right workstation. It’s a recipe where you need the right chassis, the right motherboard to start with. That was the immediate appeal with Proline.
“We bought two PL Ultimate PRO workstations with AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO’s installed. The value the Threadripper gives you in terms of the cores is unquestionable. It’s all very well having the right GPU, but if you haven’t got the right caching in it, you’re not going to get the performance. The workstations are the 64 cores in a single socket, with 128GB RAM, and also have two NVIDIA RTX A4000 GPUs which delivers an exceptional throughput.
“It wasn’t about a cost saving. It was having a high-end workstation with the right number of slots, built in dual 10gig, within a single chassis that we could work on. A single chassis that can accommodate three GPU cards if required and didn’t mean we had to add an expansion chassis. We have two in it now. We need to get 12bit HD SDI out of it, so we can view the project, which is the Blackmagic DeckLink 4K Extreme 12G and another slot to talk to shared storage. The slot count is really important.
“All of those components give you something that’s very fast that can deal with UHD Dolby Vision workflow. That’s the remit. The performance is good. It’s got the slot count that we want. It’s technically right and at the right price with the right expansion.”
What’s it been like working with Exacta Technologies?
“The team have been very responsive and helpful, they want to make things happen. We were quite happy to be early adopters and work with them to create a bespoke workstation. We’ve been to Proline HQ for a tour, Exacta Technologies is a very interesting company. They’ve got an impressive track record in the financial technology world with Blackcore by Exacta. Our new set up’s performance is testament to their tailored input and can-do approach.”
James Lupton Chief Technologist, Exacta Technologies: “It’s great to have a another customer project come to successful fruition. It’s always fun when a customer presents us with a new M&E workflow problem to solve, and a proud day at Proline when the feedback is so positive. We’re getting used to it now! “Gorilla are well respected and you can see why, they know their craft and how to
make the most of it, but most importantly they understand how important the hardware can be to their workflow. Having the right high-performance CPUs and GPUs are critical to maintaining high fidelity work whilst increasing productivity. “The Proline Ultimate PRO series has proved itself once again thanks
to our synergy between ultra-high core count AMD Threadripper PRO CPUs and the best-in-class NVIDIA RTX series GPUs.”
