Chroma Film & TV invests in SGO's Mistika for Stereoscopic 3D
projects
German stereo 3D post production pioneer chooses stereo 3D
leading system Mistika
24 January 2011 – In order to provide its clients with an
advanced and highly efficient 2D and stereoscopic 3D work-flow,
Hamburg-based Chroma Film & TV, one of Germany's stereoscopic 3D
pioneers, has invested in a Mistika 2K system for both 2D and 3D
Stereo post production. Defined as one of the most powerful 2D
and 3D post production tools in the industry for commercials,
feature films and broadcast, Mistika will play an integral role
in supporting Chroma Film & TV's existing current project
work-flow and in attracting new clientele to the company.
Chroma Film & TV's new Mistika will not just be perceived as an
advanced stereo 3D tool, but also as a complete post production
system, which is made up of highly developed 2D tools which
include editing, conforming, image restoration, compositing,
colour grading, multi mastering and DCP for both 3D and 2D.
Mistika will form the central core of the work-flow process
during each post project, further demonstrating how having a
Mistika, enhances a quality driven business and provides quality
service, based on its unrivalled speed and superior
functionality.
Mistika will be used for all of Chroma Film & TV's work which
includes 2D and stereo 3D commercials, corporate films,
documentaries and feature films. CEO of Chroma Film & TV, Jürgen
Schaum states: “Mistika will provide the key departments of
commercials and feature films – directors, cinematographers,
editors and VFX – with a very fast, high-quality and
economically attractive resource for S3D and 2D productions.”
Mistika's openness, flexibility and ability to integrate
seamlessly with other systems, were some of the key factors that
made Mistika the system of choice for stereoscopic 3D
productivity at Chroma Film & TV. Mistika will enable Chroma
Film & TV to meet the growing and complex demands that stereo 3D
productions involve. Mistika has the capacity to compatibly work
alongside with their other systems, such as AVID and the Nucoda
Film Master serving a distinct advantage from other closed
systems.
Due to Mistika's powerful real-time functionality and capability
to process any film and video format natively, as well as its
full support of AVID work-flows, it will be possible for Chroma
Film & TV to use Mistika for their dailies, for sending MXF
files to their AVID for 2D and stereo 3D projects including the
later conform in Mistika using AVID’s EDL for 2D and stereo 3D
in 48 fps. Along with Mistika's open storage, the addition of
DNxHD continues to make Mistika the ideal system for all on-line
and DI post-production work-flows, and now provides direct media
interchange with AVID's range of offline editing systems.
Mistika and Chroma Film & TV's Nucoda will operate
simultaneously on stereo 3D productions, resulting in the
combination of both systems working together for the same
project, thus serving the best interests of the client.
The Mistika post production system is a flexible high-end post
production and live on set system capable of SD, HD, 2K, 4K, and
stereoscopic 3D with real-time ARRI, RED camera and other native
data work-flows. It seamlessly integrates time-line-based
editing, conforming, infinite-layer compositing, colour grading
and image restoration all in one complete system with various
tool-sets working together in the time-line. Mistika is the most
powerful high-end state of the art industry-leading system for
3D Stereo work and is being used by companies such as New
Zealand's Park Road Post Production, The Framestore London,
BSkyB (British Sky Broadcasting), Molinare Madrid amongst many
other high profile post production companies worldwide.
SGO is an established, innovative and leading software developer
of high-end solutions for the post production and broadcast
industries since 1993, providing Mistika as its flagship system
for work-flow integration in 2D and stereo 3D across all genres
from advertising, film and TV productions.
