B&H Photo PC Pro Workstation SuperMicro / Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Production Premium / Matrox MXO2 MAX Turnkey Production System

The installed nVIDIA Quadro 4000 provides GPU acceleration for Premiere Pro CS5.5's Mercury Playback Engine, for real-time effects and for playback of multiple streams of HD video. Meanwhile, the MXO2 MAX device performs faster-than-real-time H.264 encoding in addition to providing input & output for a wide variety of audio & video signal types – its six analog audio outputs serve 5.1 surround-sound monitoring, for instance, and MXO2 enables you to calibrate your HDMI display to perform like a true broadcast monitor.

There's also a pair of controls that will enable professional-level productivity when working with the NLE software: a Contour Design ShuttlePRO v2 jog/shuttle controller (with 15 programmable buttons) and a Logic Keyboard with color-coded keycaps and icons that highlight the keyboard shortcuts used in Premiere Pro. In addition, the workstation comes with 2 TB of internal storage, 3-Port FireWire-800 and FireWire-400 PCI Host Card and a Class on Demand card (good for two years) that gives you access to any one video-based training package.
