New NVIDIA GPU-Accelerated Plug-ins For Adobe CS4

Today, NVIDIA announced the availability of GPU-accelerated plug-in solutions for Adobe Creative Suite 4 users, optimized to run on a wide range of NVIDIA Quadro graphics solutions for PC and Mac. Quadro GPU-accelerated plug-ins from Elemental Technologies, Red Giant Software, Boris FX and proDAD are available for purchase today.

Among the plug-ins being offered is the NVIDIA CUDA architecture-based Elemental Accelerator 2.0 for Windows from Elemental Technologies (MSRP $499 discounted to $249). By leveraging the CUDA parallel computing architecture, this new plug-in offloads H.264 video encoding to the Quadro GPU, enabling Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 users to experience a performance increase of up to 11X when compared to CPU-only video encoders. Now available on a range of Quadro GPUs, Elemental Accelerator 2.0 supports the creation of Blu-ray DVDs and web content using Flash. In addition, NVIDIA and Elemental Technologies are bringing accelerated H.264 video encoding capabilities to Mac Pro users for the first time with the new Elemental Accelerator 1.2 for Mac OS X running on the Quadro FX 4800 for Mac.
