DUX Soft Pvt Ltd : SPARX

Through this platform, the company plans to reduce the compute complexity of a movie studio and provides an end-to-end management solution

Wednesday, May 07, 2008

Asingle second of a movie scene is made up of 25 very high resolution frames, while that of a television scene is made of 50 – 60 normal resolution frames. Depending on the complexity of the scene, rendering a single frame may take up to hours. If we have enough resources, each frame can be rendered by different computers. For example, if one has 100 Computers, 4 seconds or 100 frames of the scene can be rendered in the same time that it takes to render one frame. Such an array of computers is called a 'Render Farm'. Managing a Render Farm is a challenge, as one has to deal with multiple frames being rendered simultaneously. SPARX, is a software application that aims to automate the complete production life cycle of digital content creation, right from requirement capture to final delivery and archival. SPARX's web interface has been developed on PHP 5.2.x and uses various additional plug-ins. SPARX can be integrated with Microsoft Active Directory Service or any other LDAP service to provide a common authentication and single sign-on to any SPARX module in future.
