SGO Showcases Mistika Upgrades At IBC2014

SGO is to showcase Mistika and Mamba FX at Stand A11, Hall 6, from 12 – 16 September at IBC2014.

SGO is known for its finishing, grading and Ultra HD capabilities for any project, including 4K at 60P and stereoscopic 3D. SGO will feature version 2.0 of its compositor Mamba FX, which provides unlimited layers of compositing in a resolution-free, node-based environment. It runs on Windows, Linux and is now also available on MAC.
SGO will show attendees how Mistika provides integration between conforming, editing, colour grading and visual effects.
Mistika 8.2 will be launched this August, prior to IBC, with a preview of the next version 8.4 being demonstrated at the show itself. New highlights include the incredible Spatial Isolation Toolset (previewed at NAB) which allows unrivalled control over multi-layer EXR image files by making full use of meta-data provided by CGI animation systems.
Also on show will be Mistika's colour finishing functionalities supporting the Precision Grading Panels. Other new features include support for Dolby Vision, improved ACES workflows, enhanced AAF support, Dolby Atmos DCP generation and support for a wider range of image codecs such as Canon's RMF, Sony's XAVC and ProRes 4:4:4:4. SGO will present Mistika performing effortlessly with mixed resolution raw camera files on the same timeline all in real-time.
Main headlines for Mamba FX 2.0 include the Layer Route Effect, providing associated functions for working with multi-layer EXR files; a 'Spatial Isolation Keyer' that interfaces with metadata that can be passed from CGI software via the EXR files and a high-speed, point cloud shape tracker, which enables compositors to track 2D roto-shapes to shots very quickly. Mamba FX can be used as a stand alone compositor, or collaboratively, as part of a post production pipeline with many Mamba FX platforms connected to a central Mistika as the post production hub.
Geoff Mills, SGO's Director of Global Sales and Operations, remarked: "SGO's innovation continues to push all boundaries, evident in its artist-leading toolsets which are revolutionising the way post production is evolving today. The fact that Mistika is the most complete and powerful creative suite that can conform, grade, finish, edit and do much more, in all resolutions and formats, in real-time and at mind-bending speeds, empowers users beyond what other systems can offer them."
