Engines snarl, tires hiss, and nine cameras grip a race car hurtling around a professional circuit. NVIDIA senior technical marketing engineer, Sabour Amirazodi, rides shotgun, filming on Canon R5s, Sony A7R Vs, GoPro Hero 13s, and a RED Raptor, capturing every angle from cockpit to curb. Each rig records pristine 4:2:2 10-bit footage, preserving the experience of rubber burning over heat-blurred asphalt.
Instant replay
Back at the studio, the SD cards still radiate warmth when Amirazodi slips them into his Dell Pro Max Tower T2 and launches DaVinci Resolve. Instead of progress bars and proxy prompts, nine full-resolution streams appear ready to play. He hits the spacebar and the race unfolds exactly as it happened, colors intact. The coffee he poured for the inevitable wait now serves only to keep him alert, not patient.
Most productions brace for hours of transcoding before they can watch the first clip. Amirazodi loads nine streams in Resolve, presses play, and every angle rolls in perfect sync. “All nine cameras play back completely smooth; no frames dropped, and it’s all processed locally,” Amirazodi explains.
So how does his setup manage that? It comes down to the NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Workstation Edition GPU. This card is the most powerful desktop GPU to date. It’s designed with multiple dedicated video engines that act like a fleet of miniature video players. Blackwell doubles the number and performance of these engines compared to the previous generation. Importantly for videographers such as Amirazodi, it natively supports 4:2:2 color encoding which allows professional camera files to play at full quality without conversions or workarounds.
Edit in living color
Blackwell offers a critical performance upgrade because professional cameras capture more color and shadow detail than consumer gear. Frames encode extra data which swell file sizes that strains a CPU. Real-time playback in video editors slow to a crawl. Editors usually compromise between overnight transcoders or low-resolution proxies. Unfortunately, both options reduce the quality initially captured by the camera crew.
To further illustrate the problem, imagine each frame as a colorful mosaic. Consumer codecs replace vibrant color tiles with softer tones to save space. Professional codecs keep every sparkle of color and adds subtle shade so edges stay sharp and skin tones stay true. As a result, the file size becomes massive and overwhelms most computers.
Blackwell’s expanded video engines are built to handle data-intensive input. It decodes footage smoothly while improving data-transfer speeds from CPU memory. In Amirazodi’s case, Blackwell handles nine full-quality streams without dropping a frame.
Amirazodi no longer needs to choose between overnight transcoders or editing with blurry stand-ins. The Dell Pro Max Tower T2 , configured with a NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Workstation Edition GPU decodes the footage using dedicated video engines and keeps playback smooth while the processor handles cuts and colors.
With technical constraints out of the way, there’s no pause between intention and execution. Every edit is part of a live feedback loop. The hardware fades into the background as it should.
From technical limitation to creative liberation
Now, Amirazodi edits at the speed of thought; he instantly applies cuts and color corrects in live views. The real-time feedback loop turns filmmaking into pure artistic expression. The Dell Pro Max workstation powers the uninterrupted flow of full-quality footage so creators can chase bolder ideas without pause. Tools no longer dictate limitations; they fuel creative liberation.
