IRIDAS Extends Integration
|
|
MUNICH, Germany: February 25, 2005 … IRIDAS the industry leader in non-destructive color grading technologies today announced full integration of SpeedGrade DI with JL Cooper’s MCS 3800 control panel. Together with the MCS-Spectrum panel, this provides colorists and DI artists with a complete hardware interface for IRIDAS’ flagship Digital Intermediate product. SpeedGrade uses XML files to save and playback color correction, EDL, and other data. The increased flexibility which this approach offers is now enhanced with a fully interactive hardware interface. Touch–sensitive motorized sliders on the MCS 3800 allow for manual input of settings. The sliders then move automatically reflecting grading, transitions (etc.) during real-time playback at HD and 2K resolutions. |
“IRIDAS continues to enhance its SpeedGrade Product,” said Chuck Thompson, JLCooper’s Vice President and General Manager. “The addition of our MCS-3800 – Media Command Station to their existing MCS-Spectrum integration provides a comprehensive tactile interface for postproduction work.
“It’s a seamless integration of software and hardware,” said IRIDAS USA Director Steve Crouch. “Many colorists prefer to work with full panels since this provides a more hands-on, interactive way of working with color and film finishing than a mouse and keyboard.”
The JLCooper MCS-3800 panel is a fully equipped eight-fader console. The MCS-Spectrum Colorist Command Station features 3 transparent, backlit, trackball mechanisms. SpeedGrade DI is a software-based color-correction and film finishing application which forms the center-piece of the IRIDAS DI System.
