SpeedGrade NX 2011
SpeedGrade NX offers even more efficient workflows for processing RAW and stereo 3D material. And outstanding colour grading! The DualStream stereo 3D toolset is optimised for practical use with realtime performance for your ARRI ALEXA and RED EPIC workflows. SpeedGrade NX is available from April 11, 2011.
Lumetri
Lumetri, by contrast, is a completely new 3D/2D finishing system intended to be available from Q4. The beta phase begins in May.
Lumetri will be free of charge for SpeedGrade DI customers under maintenance. Until Lumetri, the new finishing system, appears, maintenance gives you access to SpeedGrade NX. When Lumetri becomes available, your SpeedGrade DI licences will be upgraded to Lumetri free of charge! The remaining maintenance terms will be transferred 1:1 to Lumetri. A good offer, isn’t it?
FrameCycler DDS 2011
The new version of FrameCycler DDS has considerably improved stereoscopic features. All currently known RAW cameras are supported. FrameCycler DDS now handles Python scripting. That makes it even easier to integrate it into your Nuke pipelines! Upgrade to FrameCycler DDS 2011!
