IRIDAS Demonstrates the Power of the GPU at SIGGRAPH
Render-Quality Playback of RAW Footage in
FrameCycler and SpeedGrade
"There is a misperception in the industry, that Bayer interpolation of RAW
files has to be done through the CPU. By distributing the work evenly, using the CPU for decoding and the graphics card for the real time image rendering, our approach provides 4K playback
rivaling the image quality of offline algorithms."

Summer 2008: Tools That Push Visual Limits
Stereo Postproduction with FrameCycler featured in VFXWorld
VFX work on Journey to the Center of the World 3D depended on FrameCycler with DualStream for stereo review and image analysis.
"Without a stereo review, you would have to watch your sequence with the left eye, then the right eye and try to match everything up. Is the parallax right for the object being in front of the bush or does it look like the object is behind the bush? Stereographic FrameCycler identifies these issues right away."
