Update: Neat Video 5.5.9 Adds New Host Support

Neat Video 5.5.9 came out today and includes updates for several hosts. The OFX version had the most significant updates with optimized support for Baselight. The Baselight update is explained nicely on the Neat Video blog:

As you know Baselight systems come in different modifications, including ONE, TWO, and X. Previously, the Neat Video 5 OFX plug-in was able to use all available CPU and GPU computing resources of Baselight ONE systems only. However, on Baselight TWO and X, it could only use the host machine’s CPU and GPUs, but not the GPUs of the node machine. This limited the overall performance. Working together with the Baselight team, we have been able to better optimize Neat Video for Baselight in general and to let Neat Video use the GPU of the node machine as well.

The result is that Neat Video can now run about 1.3x–1.9x faster on Baselight ONE machines (with Baselight 5.3.17711 or newer). The speed up on Baselight TWO/X is usually even higher as it is mostly determined by the GPU of the node machine. Beta-tests have demonstrated speed increases up to 4.0x as compared with the CPU-only mode used on the node machines by the previous versions of the plug-in.
