SGO Captured the Attention of World-Cla Creatives at IBC05

The committed SGO team presented another inspirational experience at IBC with pure panache, sporting a striking stand, demonstrating that its Mistika and Mamba FX post production systems provide the only real differentiator for companies wanting to stand out from their competitors. High-profile creative professionals including leading broadcasters, colourists, compositors, post facilities and famous film studios paid the stand a visit to survey the very latest technology on display. The latest Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens and Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation trailers by Mistika customer Bad Robot, proved a big hit.

The absorbing sessions which were presented throughout the 5-day show by Mistika Application Specialist Peter Amies and Marketing Manager Sofia Pensado, drew numerous delegates to SGOs stand. Intriguing topics engaged everyone and included the challenges of post-producing high production-value long-form drama and documentaries, referring to ONSIGHT as a Mistika customer success story. How Mistika enables artists to stand out in a fiercely competitive arena when post-producing high-end commercialswas demonstrated with projects by Norwegian post facility Hocus Focus. Cutting-edge workflows used in some of the biggest blockbusters, such as FotoKem's work on Carrier 3D were a highlight, as well as how to prepare for the future in post with impending HDR, VR and 8K technologies. SGOs main overview session explored what colour-finishing really means in the ever-changing world of broadcast and post production, by validating how colourists can successfully integrate colour, online, VFX and delivery in one powerful commercially-viable Mistika system.

It was another successful show for SGO all round and Marketing Manager Sofia Pensadoremarks, Our customers continue to inspire us! The positive feedback we received at IBC has been overwhelming. We feel privileged to create progressive high-end technology for ambitious creative people that play a role in advancing the industry to greater heights and work on amazing projects.

Development highlights of the Mistika and Mamba FX systems were also on show.Performance-leading HDR-enhancing grading features linked to the stylish Mistika Precision finishing control surface as well as an entirely new media management sub-system were launched. SGOs brand new Unicolour toolalso caused a great deal of excitement, as it allows seamless bi-directional transfers between many different colour spaces. This single solution removes substantial headaches that modern professional workflows can suffer from. Also on show, was a sneak preview of SGOs all new 3D keyer - arguably the most powerful and intuitive 3D keyer available.

Some of the other exciting upgrades in Mistika 8.5 include upgraded Animation Curve Management, a significantly updated GUI, developed Output / Render Interface, new SDL (Stereo Decision List) Export and Real-time Audio Re-Pitch / Re-Sampling, and much more.

This exclusive approach is an alternative option for customers to help them increase artistic output and profits.

Also new this IBC, Boris FX Graffiti has now been integrated into SGOs low cost, node-based compositing software Mamba FX. The supporting Windows version will be ready to ship in October 2015, with Linux and Mac versions to follow soon.
