BOXX Applied sciences is demonstrating the APEXX W3 workstation, that includes an Intel Xeon W-2400 “Sapphire Rapids” processor, on the 2023 NAB Present in Las Vegas (sales space #N1606) via April 19. Additionally on show is a variety of purpose-built desk facet and rackmount techniques and the award-winning immersive VR expertise, Keep Alive, My Son, powered by a BOXX APEXX S3 workstation.
“Like all BOXX options, APEXX W-Class workstations are particularly designed to enhance productiveness,” mentioned BOXX VP of Advertising and marketing Invoice Leasure. “Powered by new, state-of-the-art Intel expertise, these techniques ship breakthrough efficiency for media content material creation, in addition to real-time design, modeling, and rendering.”
The APEXX W3 options the brand new, 24-core Intel Xeon W-2400 processor, as much as 1TB of reminiscence, and two NVIDIA RTX Ada Era GPUs, designed to speed up rendering and simulation. It’s effectively suited to Autodesk 3ds Max, Maya, Cinema 4D, and different movement media functions and rendering engines like Blender, V-Ray, and Autodesk Arnold. This mannequin is a part of the BOXX APEXX W-Class line, together with the brand new APEXX W4 that includes a 56-core Intel Xeon W-3400 processor and as much as 4 GPUs.
APEXX S3, which in keeping with BOXX, is the world’s quickest workstation, shall be demonstrating author/director Victoria Bousis’ VR cinematic expertise Keep Alive, My Son. The workstation incorporates a thirteenth Gen Intel Core i7, or i9 processor overclocked to six.0GHz, as much as two NVIDIA RTX Ada Era GPUs, accelerating 3D design and VFX functions whereas delivering help for multi-GPU duties.
The Avid-qualified APEXX T4 workstation powered by an AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO processor can even be on the BOXX sales space. The workstation optimizes each part of video content material with as much as 64 processing cores and a lift clock of 4.2GHz. As well as, it’s expandable as much as 4 professional-grade AMD Radeon Professional or NVIDIA RTX GPUs and 2TB of reminiscence. APEXX T4 allows customers to multitask with out dropping effectivity or efficiency utilizing 3ds Max; Maya; Cinema 4D; Adobe Artistic Cloud; DaVinci Resolve; VEGAS Put up; Unreal Engine; and rendering engines like Arnold; Blender; V-Ray, Redshift; and Octane Render.
Lastly, the BOXX NAB present lineup features a trio of rack-mounted workstation platforms. FLEXX S1G, a workstation within the type of a rack-mounted node, options thirteenth Gen Intel Core i7 or i9 processors. As a part of the FLEXX information middle platform, which homes a number of nodes, FLEXX S1G is purpose-built to speed up 3D content material and movement media workflows for on-premises or distant information middle installations. RAXX P2G, a brand new rack-mounted workstation with AMD EPYC 7003-Sequence processors, is purpose-built to energy video show partitions, broadcast manufacturing, and demanding rendering workflows. Lastly, RAXX W3, probably the most superior BOXX system, is powered by a 56-core Intel Xeon W-3400 and as much as 4 NVIDIA RTX GPUs and is particularly designed to speed up simulation and real-time rendering in movie modifying and broadcast manufacturing workflows.
“BOXX provides techniques for main movement image studios, tv networks, and award-winning creators just like the workforce behind Keep Alive, My Son,” added Leasure. “So, we invite attendees to expertise our demos, seek the advice of with our consultants, and uncover that no {hardware} producer understands 3D design and movement media workflows higher than BOXX.”
