PipelineFX, makers of Qube!โข software, the leading render farm management software for digital media creation, today announced they will exhibit at the annual National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) 2010 exhibition held April 12th through the 15th (stand #SL 9711) in Las Vegas Nevada.
Having completed an extensive customer validation process in the design of it’s next major release, PipelineFX will debut the beta version of Qube! 6.0 at NAB 2010, and introduce their “smart farming” concept for render management. “Smart farming” involves using the render manager’s intelligence and the current and historical statistics from the render pipeline to provide the information and automation required to truly understand what is happening throughout out the rendering process and to automate routine render wrangler tasks. Leveraging the power of the Qube! Supervisor, it’s built-in database and unique, event-driven queuing model, Qube! 6.0 will provide out-of-the-box features and functionality that has so far only been available to the largest visual effects studios. Further details on Qube! 6.0 will be announced during the NAB show.
In addition to new features and functionality demonstrations, PipelineFX will also be debuting integration with both Shotgun Software and Tweak Software products. Both products and the initial integration features will be demonstrated in the PipelineFX booth throughout the show.
“We are excited to unveil the advanced functionality of Qube! 6.0 at NAB 2010,” said Richard Lewis, CEO of PipelineFX. “I am also thrilled to demonstrate the integration and collaborative development we’ve done with both Shotgun Software and Tweak Software. Both are leading digital media infrastructure players and represent best-in-class products for digital media production pipelines. Integrating production management with render management and with image and sequence viewing makes a lot of sense and provides immediate value to any production pipeline. We are also hosting a QCA certification class in a 2-day format over the weekend prior to NAB as an opportunity to get trained and certified in Qube! while attending the exhibition.”
