Up to 11X Faster H.264 Video Encoding
Elemental Accelerator™ is a high-speed, high-quality video processing solution designed to add power and performance to the Adobe® Premiere® Pro CS4 workflow with select NVIDIA® Quadro® professional graphics boards. Elemental Accelerator harnesses the power of the Quadro GPU and NVIDIA® CUDA™ technology to perform high-speed video encoding and deliver dramatic time savings over conventional CPU-only encoding solutions.
Elemental Accelerator performs GPU-accelerated conversion of commonly distributed digital video formats to H.264/AVC baseline, main, or high profile output ready for upload to the web or burning to Blu-ray disc. By executing demanding processing tasks on the Quadro GPU, Elemental Accelerator not only speeds video transcoding, it frees CPU resources to perform other tasks, resulting in a faster, more efficient video editing and production environment. Elemental Accelerator 2.0 for Windows can deliver as much as a 11x performance improvement compared to the standard CPU encoder.
