RV 3.6 Specifications

RV Specifications

Apple Intel with ATI Radeon 9600, Nvidia GeForce FX, or newer.
Linux x86 32 and 64 bit (RH 9.0+, SuSE 9.x), AGP 4x or better, Nvidia GeForce FX or newer. Non-Nvidia cards are not supported on Linux.
Windows XP or Vista with an Nvidia GeForce FX or newer. Non-Nvidia cards on Windows are not currently supported.

RV also works with older graphics cards but some advanced features will be disabled.

Quicktime, mp4, and AVI movie files with audio (support varies per platform. No Quicktime/AVI on 64 bit Windows yet.)
Quicktime 7 on Mac and Windows (32 bit)
libquicktime on Linux and OSX 64 bit (H.264, MPEG-4, Photo/Motion JPEG,DV, Raw, and others)
Full support of OpenEXR including multiple channels, layers, views, input color spaces and metadata
TIFF (including floating point), scan line and tiled (texture formats)
10 bit Cineon and 8, 10, 12, and 16 bit DPX and associated metadata
PNG, GIF, JPEG, RLA, RGBE/A, SGI, Photoshop, Pixar Z, and others
Optional high-quality resolution down sampling (color and/or size)
Audio AIFF, WAV, and others (AAC, MP3, etc on Windows and Mac)
Import LUT formats: IRIDAS (.cube), Rising Sun (.csp), Nuke (.vf), Shake, Apple (.mga), Panavision (.a3d), Inferno (.3dl) and RV specific (.rvchlut, .rv3dlut) LUT formats
C++ SDK for image, movie file, and codec plug-ins (requires our support on Windows)

No resolution limits
Arbitrary channel remapping from source file
8 and 16 bit/channel integer images
16 and 32 bit/channel floating point images
Non-square pixel aspect ratios
Subsampled chroma images
Arbitrary primaries and built-in transfer functions for sRGB, Rec.709, and Gamma, or HDR display LUT.
Multiple stereo output options

Greater than 30 fps playback of 2k 8 bit frames on 8x AGP or PCIe
User controlled FPS, frame increment, in/out points
Direct from disk playback of Cineon, DPX, JPEG, B44/A EXR Luma+Chroma images if available bandwidth allows it

Any combination of mono input formats can be used to create stereo: sequences of images, movie files
Multiple track quicktime movies
Multiple view OpenEXR (with layers) high dynamic range stereo
Stereo sources can be sequenced like single view sources
Hardware left/right buffers (shutter glasses), anaglyph (grey scale and color), pair, mirrored pair, or isolated eye views
Support for DLP and LCD stereo output devices
Real-time eye offset modification
Color pipeline works seamlessly with stereo viewing

Real-Time relative exposure, hue, saturation, contrast, gamma, bias, and more
Non linear transfer functions: Cineon/DPX log space (two styles), Grassvalley Viper, sRGB, Rec.709 (HD), and gamma
Channel reordering, single channel view isolation, luminance and alpha view
Out-of-range per channel view
3D and Channel LUTs per input source and for display (simultaneously)
Luminance LUTs (for data visualization, e.g. shadow and depth maps)
Compound HDR input/output Channel and 3D LUTs with per-channel pre-LUT: one software pre-cache and up to three simultaneous hardware LUTs
Extremely flexible automated color and display management with access to image attributes, environment, and other arbitrary parameters

Remote Control/Query from other apps/devices and over a network
RV-to-RV sync
Images and Sub-images and whole sequences sent over network connection allow use of RV as a viewer for renderers and similar software

Customizations can be isolated, packaged, and distributed without modifying RV itself
Makes pipeline integration easier and more flexible
