X-Factor speeds both rendering and preview processing. Unlike other distributed rendering methods that use multiple computers only for the final rendering of frames at the end of a project, X-Factor also speeds up the rendering of previews while you are working. Because previewing is performed many times during the creative process while final rendering occurs only once, X-Factor allows you to achieve productivity gains that are not possible with other distributed rendering methods.
X-Factor typically exhibits linear performance improvement when used with After Effects. That means preview processing and rendering will take place twice as fast on two machines, three times as fast on three machines, and so on

Funny how things work out. I just turned this article, and other pages on the same site over to friends of mine who were extremely glad to hear of this. Somehow they had missed it. They were looking for ways to process imaging from undersea video taken with hundreds of descreet "sonar" beacons. A way to actually see what is on the bottom of the ocean where there is no light, in real time, without actually trying to supply the light we are so accustomed to.

Thanks.

it would be great if we can adapt this technology for vegas. no hardware out there can't beat that. in term of scalability
