RV Specifications

System Requirements for Full Feature Set

Apple Intel or PowerPC with ATI Radeon 9600, Nvidia GeForce FX, or newer
Linux x86 (RH 9.0+, SuSE 9.x), AGP 4x or better, Nvidia GeForce FX or newer. RV currently supports only Nvidia graphics on Linux.
Windows 2000, XP, or Vista with an Nvidia GeForce FX or newer. RV currently support only Nvidia graphics on Windows.

RV also works with older graphics cards but some advanced features will be disabled.

Quicktime, mp4, and AVI movie files with audio (support varies per platform)
Quicktime 7 on Mac and Windows
libquicktime on Linux (Photo/Motion JPEG,DV, and Raw)
Full support of OpenEXR including multiple channels, layers, views, input color spaces and metadata
TIFF (including floating point), scan line and tiled (texture formats)
Cineon/DPX and associated metadata
PNG, GIF, JPEG, RLA, RGBE/A, SGI, Photoshop, Pixar Z, and others
Optional high-quality resolution down sampling (color and/or size)
Audio AIFF, WAV, and others (AAC, MP3, etc on Windows and Mac)
Import LUT formats: IRIDAS (.cube), Rising Sun (.csp), Nuke (.vf), Shake, Apple (.mga), Panavision (.a3d), Inferno (.3dl) and RV specific (.rvchlut, .rv3dlut) LUT formats
C++ SDK for image, movie file, and codec plug-ins (requires our support on Windows)

Asynchronous multithreaded rendering, I/O, processing, and caching
- Buffer caching for realtime playback
- Static region caching for random access of a range
- Multithreaded decompression for some formats (e.g., OpenEXR)
- Scales up with number of CPU cores and buses

Any combination of mono input formats can be used to create stereo: sequences of images, movie files
Multiple track quicktime movies
Multiple view OpenEXR (with layers) high dynamic range stereo
Stereo sources can be sequenced like single view sources
Hardware left/right buffers (shutter glasses), anaglyph (grey scale and color), pair, mirrored pair, or isolated eye views
Support for DLP and LCD stereo output devices
Real-time eye offset modification
Color pipeline works seamlessly with stereo viewing

Real-Time relative exposure, hue, saturation, contrast, gamma, bias, and more
Non linear input spaces: Cineon/DPX log space (two styles), Grassvalley Viper, Panalog, sRGB, and gamma
Channel reordering, single channel view isolation, luminance and alpha view
Out-of-range per channel view
3D and Channel LUTs per input source and for display (simultaneously)
Luminance LUTs (for data visualization, e.g. shadow and depth maps)
