SpeedGrade DI - Advanced Film Finishing in Real Time

SpeedGrade DI is a high performance color grading application offering primary and secondary grading, conform, effects and a full set of film finishing tools. SpeedGrade is the only color grading system available for Windows and MacOS X. SpeedGrade runs on standard high-end PC or Mac workstations with an NVIDIA QuadroFX graphics card. SpeedGrade's advanced architecture supports resolutions up to 4K in real time. To achieve the utmost in color fidelity and avoid artifacts such as clipping, SpeedGrade's algorithms process all calculations in floating point precision.

RealTime RAW

Through partnerships with all major digital cinema camera manufacturers, IRIDAS supports RAW files natively, eliminating the costly transcoding process usually associated with these cameras. Our unique RealTime RAW algorithms employ the power of the GPU to deliver render quality output up to uncompressed 4K RAW at 30fps.

Stereoscopy SpeedGrade DI builds on our pioneering work in stereoscopy to deliver a full stereoscopic color correction and finishing solution. Using our DualStream features on a stereo project is a painless process. Stereo conform and grading work intuitively without the need to copy timelines or grading keyframes between the eyes. Powerful analysis tools, such as difference mattes, allow you to correct for temporal or geometric offsets or rotation and mirroring in your material. For stereoscopic review, SpeedGrade DI supports virtually all dual stream display technologies on the market, such as dual HD-SDI, interlaced or shutter glasses.

Color Pipeline

Through the IRIDAS Color Pipeline, a concept we first introduced in 2003, all IRIDAS products work hand in hand with SpeedGrade DI to communicate the movie's look through all stages of a production and post production pipeline. Color information is applied non-destructively, preserving the integrity of the original footage. IRIDAS .Look file format is supported by many third party software and hardware products.

Workflow Design

You can easily integrate SpeedGrade into your existing post pipeline. Our industry-leading file format support allows you to work with native frame sequences or movie files directly, whether they are on local storage or placed on a SAN. All our file formats are text or XML-based, empowering the script programmers in your company.

Rendering

Rendering in SpeedGrade scales from simple to powerful: You can either render locally or scale up to a MetaRender render farm giving you a fast turnaround times even for large projects. Output formats include all commonly used file formats used in the industry, such as DPX, Cineon, TIFF or Quicktime.
