“Lustre” is aiming at the market for creative color grading and accordingly offers comprehensive possibilities for color correction and image manipulation. Thus, 2K/10-bit primary grading is possible in real time, and the system processes all resolutions including 2K, 4K and higher. Advanced tracking, keying, dust busting as well as expanded rotoscoping tools supplement the high-end equipment. Lustre furthermore offers SD and HD I/O functions, including “Pan & Scan.” A plug-in architecture for image-processing tools is also implemented.
