Los Angeles, CA (Aug. 12, 2008) – eyeon announces a major release of the Unified Platform System of Fusion 5.3 for Linux. This release has been extensively updated to include many more distributions and solidifies eyeon’s goal to produce Fusion for multiple operating systems with the same image quality and third party support from a single code source.
Available under subscription, this gives the option to run Fusion on multiple distributions of Linux and on Windows in 64-bit or 32-bit configurations. Fusion’s Unified Platform System is universally compatible across operating systems, and facilities can choose what pipeline set-up works advantageously in their favour.
“With many studios using different Linux distributions, eyeon has developed a platform system that delivers across multiple operating systems and computer hardware seamlessly. We also take pride in contributing to the Open Source community in Wine development.”
Isaac Guenard, Senior Product Manager eyeon Software
While running Fusion on Linux, pipelines and technical directors can take advantage of the following:
- New installers that support all Linux versions, including Fedora, Redhat, Centos and Suse
- Headless render node for render farms
- Mixed operating system configurations
- Native Hybrid CPU/GPU hardware setups
- Universal plug-in support
This is a native development for all Intel and AMD x86 CPU's and Nvidia, AMD/ATI GPU computer systems on Linux. The Unified Platform System brings cross platform compatibility for mixed OS environments with the broadest support of plug-ins, services, peripherals and network infrastructure.
