da Vinci Systems today announced that Rumblefish, a pre- and post-production management company located in Milan, Italy, plans to upgrade its existing Resolve® DI digital imaging system to a Resolve R250 by adding two of da Vinci's new high-performance C.O.R.E. (CUDA© Optimized Resolve Engine) processing engines. With the Resolve R250 system, Rumblefish is adding both breadth and depth to its client services, which include color grading and DI finishing of television commercials, music videos, documentaries, and feature films.

"The da Vinci Resolve is the most complete, functional, and advanced digital imaging system that the industry offers," said Massimo Germoglio, executive producer at Rumblefish. "We chose it as the key to our 2K HD workflow, knowing it will work efficiently and productively in synergy with our ARRISCAN scanner to serve both our advertising and film clients."

Rumblefish anticipates that the Resolve R250 will enable tighter integration of scanning, storage, editing, and image processing suites, resulting in more efficient workflow and ultimately a reduction in management costs. Initially, the Resolve has relied on NAS, but Rumblefish is transitioning to a SAN-based system to further improve reliability and speed.

da Vinci designed C.O.R.E. so that current customers like Rumblefish can easily add it to their existing Resolves for enhanced processing power. With the introduction of C.O.R.E., da Vinci becomes the first player in the industry to exploit the power and efficiency of GPUs not merely for graphics display, but also for processing power, thus surmounting the complex, computation-intensive challenges inherent in color finishing. To achieve this industry milestone, da Vinci engineers collaborated closely with NVIDIA, developers of the CUDA processing language.

"Post-production facilities caught on to the benefits of Resolve with C.O.R.E. almost instantly, and it's generating a tremendous amount of excitement worldwide," said Dean Lyon, da Vinci's director of marketing. "We are confident that post houses of all sizes will embrace the additional tools and efficiencies that our new C.O.R.E technology enables, further adding to the power and processing speed of their existing Resolve systems."
