Does a JBlade product need to support your hardware? Use the links on the left to request new hardware be included in a JBlade product. The two types of hardware requests are

• Request for Hardware Rendering
• Request for Hardware Processing

You do not need to be the manufacturer of the hardware to make a request but it helps. Requests for Hardware support are separated from the JBlade issue tracking system because the decision to include hardware is heavily influenced by commercial issues.

Requests for hardware rendering are simpler for JBlade to accommodate and more likely to be approved. Access to the physical hardware is not necessary. JBlade releases a new database of hardware renderers four times a year.

• January 1
• April 1
• July 1
• October 1

Requests for Hardware Processing must be preceded by a Hardware Rendering Request.
