Zotac All-in-One Mini-PC / Cineblax's First Computer Post!



Here is my next computer. The Zotac ZBOX Intel Atom D525 1.8 GHz Dual Core with Blu-ray All-in-One Mini-PC. This little baby packs a punch an is only "7.36 x 11.02 x 1.5". Besides the small size, it looks like something out of the latest Star Trek movie. If you would of told me I could have a computer this small, that plays Blu-Ray discs and boots in a few seconds.....I would have said "sure and pull this other leg and it plays Jingle bells" (a quote from my favorite TV character Johnny Drama). Beside the specs below, it also has space for a 2.5-inch SATA hard drive (drop a OCZ Vertex 3 SSD and watch it scream). Here are the specs:
Features
• NVIDIA® PureVideo™ HD technology
• NVIDIA® CUDA™ technology
• Adobe® Flash® Player 10.1 acceleration
• Microsoft® DirectX® 10.1 compatible
• Microsoft® DirectCompute ready
• OpenGL® 3.2 compatible

The price might be a little steep...$500, but only by today's standards, (Remember what a 500 dollar computer would get you back in infancy of home computers?)......I gotta have one!!!!

The Red Scarlet / Too Amazing to be Reality

Here is Ted from Red at CES 2011, showing the proto of the final and REAL Red Scarlet. Lots of us film makers have waited for this camera for a long time. And many began to think it would never happen. But beleive it or not........It looks like it is a reality!! Not yet for sale, but they are selling the Epic, and this prototype of the Scarlet, looks to be on the same R&D path. We might actually have the camera of our dreams after all!!!
