ProArt PA32UCX also supports Dolby Vision which allows content creators to bring new depth to their content. It delivers more accurate, lifelike color than standard dynamic range. With Dolby Vision, the colorist is further empowered to create trims for each shot to control how the content maps to the consumer devices. This provides confidence to content creators that their images are represented on all devices with ultimate consistency.

The latest NVIDIA® Quadro RTX™ GPUs and GeForce RTX utilize NVIDIA Turing™ architecture and are the first to support real time ray tracing, capable of rendering beautiful scenes with more accurate light effects, shadows and reflections. The latest ASUS laptops, including ZenBook Pro Duo, StudioBook W700G3T and StudioBook W500, take advantage of this, catering to the needs of content creators and meeting the stringent requirements of the NVIDIA RTX Studio program.

ASUS works in close partnership with numerous independent software vendors (ISVs), including industry leaders like Adobe, Autodesk and VRAY, to test and verify compatibility with Pro E800 G4.

Networking

A dedicated networking area showcases ultrafast Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) home networking with the AiMesh AX6600 Mesh Wi-Fi system (RT-AX95Q) and a complete home solution featuring the RT-AX58U router, StudioBook W700G3T laptop and Mini PC PN61.

The AiMesh AX6600 Mesh Wi-Fi system and RT-AX58U router support 160MHz bandwidth and 1024-QAM to provide ultrafast Wi-Fi speeds that are up to 2.5x faster than those supported by the previous Wi-Fi standard.

A combination of OFDMA and MU-MIMO technology provides up to 4X better network efficiency and capacity. With OFDMA, the data channel is separated into smaller sub channels, so data from different devices can be bundled together to ensure no bandwidth is wasted. This means that one channel can transmit data to several devices at the same time, improving efficiency and reducing latency. These smaller sub channels also enable the routers to provide up to 80% greater coverage than those of the previous generation.

The Wi-Fi 6 standard also helps to improve battery life of connected devices. A new technology called Target Wake Time (TWT) allows transmissions to be scheduled, so connected devices can sleep for longer periods, delivering up to 7X better battery life.

TUF Gaming

The TUF Gaming hardware area features several exciting, recently unveiled products as well as some that fans have been waiting in anticipation for in recent months. New products include the TUF gaming GT301 ATX gaming case with a 240mm radiator in the front, up to five 120mm fans, and a 160mm CPU cooler; the silent and powerful TUF Gaming TF120A1 ARGB PWM all-purpose chassis fan with an incredible 400,000-hour lifespan; the durable TUF Gaming X570-Plus (Wi-Fi) motherboard with comprehensive cooling and support for next-gen connectivity; the TUF Gaming H3 headset; and the TUF Gaming M3 mouse.
