NVIDIA GRID Visual Computing
Appliance enables ultrafast GPU performance to a
Windows, Linux or Mac client
on a network.

The GPU-based system allows
201
applications such as those from
Adobe Systems and Autodesk to
send their graphics output over
the network to be displayed on

a client computer.
This remote GPU acceleration
gives users the same rich
graphics experience they
would get from an expensive,
dedicated PC under their
desk. In particular, it provides
ﬂexibility to small and mediumsize businesses with limited IT
infrastructures.

direct drive system. The inhouse custom design offers a
no-compromise gimbal created

from scratch that has allowed
Freeﬂy to precisely execute its
vision for the next generation
of stabilised camera gimbals.
