About
Iris
jet engine
Iris jet engine used by IrisFilter5.6jet, FinalFocus2.0jet and
CinemaFocus1.0jet is a virtual
camera engine developed to allow the high-speed reproduction of realistic
depth of field and focal manipulation effects with excellent visual quality.
Producing authentic focal effects can be time consuming because of the tremendous number of calculations required. Numerous layer processes are necessary especially in video
composite production. Composites with high resolution or theatre-size
film can take even longer because of the amount of data involved.
The Iris jet engine produces realistic
depth of field effects 5 to 45 times faster than previous versions. The larger the
diameter of the defocussed area, the more you will benefit
from using Iris jet engine. This upgrade also allows us to enjoy
high quality previews of the effect prior to rendering.
Iris jet engine is currently undergoing further development
for even better quality and faster processing.
Speed comparison between IrisFilter4 and 5.6jet.
Rendering is done in one minute while the previous version took about an hour to do the same process. Using the Iris jet engine will save you 59 minutes.
Similar results are to be expected in a comparison of FinalFocus1.0 and FinalFocus2.0jet.
Iris jet engine acceleration
The greater the area of focal manipulation the more beneficial Iris jet engine becomes. Defocussing an area 250 pixels in diameter will render 45 times faster than with previous versions.
Similar acceleration expected both with Mac OS X and Windows.
