Puget Systems Partners to Demonstrate Vū One at NAB NY; Newly-Launched, Accessible Turnkey Virtual Production Solution for Content Creators
Vū One Media Server Powered by Puget Systems Delivers Best-in-Class Performance to Power Affordable New Integrated Platform of Hardware and Software Solutions for Sophisticated Virtual Production Workflows
Auburn, WA (October 23, 2023) – Puget Systems (www.pugetsystems.com) today announced it is teaming up with Vū (www.vu.network) at NAB NY next week to demonstrate Vū’s newly launched turn-key, accessible virtual production platform, Vū One. ‘Powered by Puget Systems,’ Vū One will deliver an interoperable set of creative and collaborative software tools and tightly integrated hardware for virtual productions in a single, integrated solution.
Last month, Puget Systems announced that they had been selected by Vū as its exclusive media server provider because of Puget Systems’ unique qualification and expertise in designing and building complex, high-performance systems specifically designed for demanding virtual production environments.
What You’ll See at the Puget Systems Booth: Vū One, Powered by Puget Systems
The team from Puget Systems will be on hand at NAB NY at its booth #742 to demonstrate Vū One Powered by Puget Systems. In the demo, attendees will see one of the major features of Vū One – the ability to remotely connect with, and manage, a virtual production stage from a different location. In this case, the Puget Systems Media Server will be connected live to a Vū studio in Orlando, Florida.
The media server at the heart of this new virtual production innovation is designed with AMD Threadripper PRO processors, offering a high number of cores for extremely fast light baking and shader compiling, while NVIDIA’s RTX A-series graphics cards offer high 3D performance combined with plenty of VRAM. Dual GPUs are supported, along with optional NVLink and Quadro Sync add-ons. Key specs include:
- AMD Threadripper PRO WRX80 EATX
- Motherboard: Asus Pro WS WRX80E-SAGE SE WIFI (AMD WRX80 EATX)
- CPU: AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 5975 WX 3.6GHz (Up To 4.5GHz Turbo) 32 Core 280W
- RAM: 256GB DDR4-3200 REG ECC (8x32GB)
- Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 24GB Open Air
- Hard Drive: Samsung 870 EVO 2TB SATA3 2.5 Inch SSD
This configuration is specially designed for Vū One and optimized for the most complex virtual production workflows and environments.
Dive Deeper with Puget Systems Recommended Hardware and Benchmarking for Virtual Production Report
Puget Systems recently completed its highly sought-after Puget Labs Recommended Systems for Virtual Production report. In this detailed report, technicians from Puget Labs detail key data that studio executives and virtual production artists need to discern the optimal hardware configurations required for complex, real-time, processing intensive virtual production environments – everything from recommendations on what CPU and GPU is best for virtual production, to application-specific recommendations based on users’ needs for motion capture, green screen or LED wall volume applications. Understanding the demands of each of these platforms at the component level is critical in designing workstations for optimal virtual production system performance.
