Get 11X Faster Video Encoding for Blu–ray, Flash and DVD Media Production!

Turn your work flow from days into hours... from hours into minutes!

Add power and performance to your Adobe® Premiere® Pro CS4 workflow with the recently introduced Elemental™ Accelerator, a high–speed, high–quality video processing solution. Leveraging the NVIDIA® CUDA™ parallel computing architecture, Elemental Accelerator allows videographers to perform GPU–accelerated video encoding with a Quadro FX Graphical Processing Unit (GPU), delivering a performance increase of up to 11X compared to CPU–only video encoders. By executing demanding processing tasks on the GPU, Elemental Accelerator not only speeds video encoding, it frees CPU resources to perform other tasks, resulting in a faster, more efficient video editing and production environment.

Elemental Accelerator performs GPU–accelerated conversion of commonly distributed digital video formats to H.264/AVC output ready for upload to the web or burning to Blu–ray disc. Plus, with version 2.1, Elemental Accelerator will add support for high–speed MPEG–2 video encoding for DVD media or digital broadcast output. Support for MPEG–2 encoding will be available via a free upgrade to existing Elemental Accelerator customers.
