"With SpeedGrade DI and DualStream I can finally work with all of the components of a stereo movie in the same workspace. Color grading all of the stereo elements and being able to see content in real-time the way the audience will see it is crucial. With this technology, I can now do all of my film finishing in stereo."

SpeedGrade DI 2007: The Complete Film Finishing Solution

SpeedGrade DI 2007 is a real-time color grading application offering primary and secondary grading, conform, effects and a full set of film finishing tools. SpeedGrade DI uses IRIDAS' innovative non-destructive grading technology: all grading data - including masks, dissolves, and more - is saved, edited, compared, and re-applied without altering the source material. All color adjustments are applied in floating-point which means no loss of bit-depth and exceptional color-accuracy in the final render.

SpeedGrade DI is the only film finishing application to run on the Windows, Mac OS X and Linux platforms.

What’s New in 2007
SpeedGrade DI 2007 offers a raft of new features and enhancements including the new DualStream stereoscopic module and real-time RAW support for live playback and grading of RAW files which offer better image quality at one third the size of standard RGB formats.

More New Features
• Significantly enhanced conform tools for fast and flexible import of EDLs
• Refined secondaries grading panel offers blur and greater precision in the color selector
• New FX shaders for complex looks including Technicolor 2-Strip, Technicolor 3-Strip, day-for-night, and others
• Support with full mapping for Tangent CP200 control panels
• ARRI defect map support for film scans and film restoration work
• nVidia QuadroFX 5600 GPU support allows for a greater number of simultaneous operations in real time
• Improved rendering of final outputs for faster turnaround times
 



SpeedGrade
DI 2007 offers more powerful conform tools which simplify EDL imports and allow for easy comparison of takes.


Put the Pieces Together with Conform
SpeedGrade DI 2007 loads Edit Decision Lists (EDLs) and conforms them automatically on the timeline. SpeedGrade references time codes, frame numbers, or frame indices in the Reels browser for instant access to all your material.

Full Bit-Depth Rendering
Until final rendering, everything is editable: grades, dissolves, masks, pan & scan are only baked in at the end. When the work is done, SpeedGrade DI provides both CPU and GPU-based rendering at the full color-depth of the input image: 10-bit log, 16-bit and even floating point.




FX come standard: SpeedGrade DI 2007 ships with a long list of FX shaders such as bleach bypass or
Technicolor 2-strip and 3-strip looks.


Prepare for Every Outcome: Pan & Scan
Media today needs to be repackaged for a variety of output formats and presentation technologies. Now DI artists can plan for that right from the start. SpeedGrade DI's pan & scan tools make it easy to fine-tune content and save any number of version scripts without having to render a single frame. Create a film-out master, an HD broadcast release version, a standard TV version, and more.




Communicate color: SpeedGrade DI supports the IRIDAS .Look format so creative looks can be shared with anyone
at any stage of a project. .Look files can be applied in FrameCycler for graded playback and exported as LUTs
for other applications.


Collaborate Anywhere
SpeedGrade DI includes ReviewLink, IRIDAS' remote review technology. SpeedGrade DI can host interactive review sessions with other SpeedGrade or FrameCycler real-time playback applications over the internet via a standard VPN connection. Drawing and annotation tools provide real-time communications between locations.




Add accents with masks: use the mask widget to create and any shape of mask and animate with SpeedGrade’s intuitive keyframing tools.

Do it Your Way
No two colorists work the same. SpeedGrade DI 2007 offers perhaps the most flexible grading and finishing solution on the market including a customizable interface, custom mapping for the modular Tangent CP200 control panel series, and numerous display options including SDI-Out via the nVidia SDI graphics card.

On top of that, SpeedGrade DI 2007 reads and writes virtually everything: colorists can work in any format at any resolution or bit-depth, without requiring conversions or proxies.
