Highlights for NAB 2015
The Mistika Precision Control Surface, unveiled for the first time at NAB is an enticing differentiator. The Panel provides the ultimate interface for complete project-finishing and is not restricted to purely manipulating colour; but also provides a tactile and intuitive surface for controlling every facet of the finishing process.
Pioneering facilities company, ONSIGHT, invested in the Mistika Precision Grading Panel hours after SGO's announcement at NAB last year, complementing its long-standing Mistika offering and the skills of its creative team.
Max Horton, ONSIGHT's new Senior Colourist with a wealth of experience in film and high-end television, remarks,
As I begin to use the Mistika Precision Panel more and more, it's clear it offers increased flexibility and time efficiency. Having four track balls means I can work faster when accessing additional Mistika tools in a grade, particularly luminance specific functions. I also noticed accurate and quick control with the mini-joy stick. The surface design looks great too!
Cluster Playback is another revolutionary feature for Mistika. Already the envy of its competitors due to its real-time performance and incredible processing speed, the Mistika Cluster Playback facility allows Mistika operators to create stunning images in real-time no matter how complicated the processing is that is required, or how high the image resolution needs to be.
Not only can Mistika make use of multiple GPU cards within a host platform, it can also harness the CPU and GPU power from multiple computers to provide limitless scalability. Unlike a traditional render farm, Mistika aggregates the available processing power to permit the artist to create images in real-time, rather than having to wait for rendering before playback. The result allows Mistika users to out-perform their competitors, to benefit from greater project throughput and to take on complex projects that were previously inaccessible.
Mistikas AAF conform features have also been further developed, offering the benefit of advanced compatibility with Avid-based workflows. Editing effects created in Avid are accurately replicated in the Mistika timeline, including animated re-timing curves, shot framing, multi-camera groups and multi-track conforms. Mistika can read and write Avid compliant media files which permit round trip pipelines between Avid and Mistika.
The Mistika is a great conform environment, with its truly mixed media format timeline, re-link and versioning tools. The new enhanced AAF features build on this solid foundation and are another useful tool for the online editor.
Rob Gordon, Senior Online Editor at Park Road Post Production, New Zealand
Mistikas Extended and High Dynamic Range (EDR/HDR) workflows are another exciting upgrade addition that have undergone supplementary refinement, including PQ support according to SMPTE 2084 regulations. Supporting next-generation technologies such as these, ensures that SGOs customers are the first to embrace new opportunities and provide market-leading services for their clients.
Mistika also boasts over fifty new enhancements, including updates to accommodate the latest ACES specifications, interface advancements such as user-inspired upgrades to
