The Creators United 24 Hour livestream brough a multitude of South Africa streamers and content creators together, to raise funds for Abraham Kriel Bambanani Non-Profit. To power all of this, Creators United brought multiple brands together, including Asus, to provide powerful and professional equipment, to meet the content demands of the day.



Asus Professional, a sort-of unofficial sub-brand, is dedicated to content creation including video and image editing, and aims to make content creation faster and more accessible to any content creator, new or old. Asus was generous enough to offer some of their latest equipment to use during the Creators United stream, including two ASUS ProArt PA27AC HDR Professional Monitors, a Mini PC ProArt PA90 editing station, and a custom editing station.

The monitor offers a 27-inch WQHD IPS display with a frameless design, with 100% sRGB colour gamut, and has been pre-calibrated for excellent color accuracy (ΔE < 2). The monitor also features HDR-10 functionality, which is universally more adoptable, allowing more programmes to benefit from the monitor's display. Other notable features include Thunderbolt™ 3, which offers data transfer speeds of up to 40Gbps so you never need to worry about extra processing time to videos, as well as USB-C for powering external devices. Finally, the ProArt monitors offer ASUS ProArt™ Calibration Technology, with a 14-bit colour accuracy look-up table, and a 5x5 grid uniformity testing.



Creators United Producer, Francois Venter, had the following to say:

For content that has to be edited and output during a livestream event, having the power and capacity to process footage and other media quickly was important. As for the professional screens provided the offered a natural and almost real-world paper-like texture

The Professional Mini-PC gave a phenomenal boost in content production on the day, thanks to the 9th-Generation Intel® Core™ processors, NVIDIA® Quadro® GPU system, 64GB DDR4 Intel® Optane® RAM, and two M.2 PCIe SSDs and one 2.5-inch drive. The small form factor not only creates a sense of elegance on your workstation, but also a portable editing rig that is easy to move around.



The Mini PC ProArt PA90 is able to offer incredibly fast editing processing due to the combination of the high-end Intel® Core™ i9 porocessor, the NVIDIA® Quadro® graphics, as well the Intel® Optane® 64GB DDR4 RAM and M.2 SSDs. The ultra-fast processing times of these components together, combined with the blazing-fast read/write speeds of the NVME, all equates to incredibly fast editing times on raw footage.



Melissa Fisher, Media Editor of Inkblot digital media production, had the following to say:

Working on professional screens that showcase true colour grading, keeps you from second-guessing the content output and along with having the opportunity to edit on the media machines, which allowed for multiple projects to be rendered, edited and exported seamlessly, made for fast production for the Creators United event that was on a tight deadline being a live-stream.

And on a side note, the sleek and stylish look of the unit and the considerate layout of the cable placement makes it an appealing unit to work with

We would simply like to say thank you to Asus for providing some of their latest Professional range of equipment for use during the Creators United stream.
