SGO Previews Mistika Version 2.5 Features Running on Linux (2/9/2006)

Do you want to see the most powerful, most cost effective post-production finishing tool around?

Mistika is true real-time capability in a box - infinite flexibility. Come and see what real-time really looks like at IBC Hall 7, SGO stand 601.

This is the post world's best-kept secret and is attracting quite a stir amongst top compositors. This is a system that will enable editors to outshine their competitors by far. There are many benefits of using Mistika and they are namely, its unrivalled quality; its unmatched speed and pure efficiency and the competition-beating workflow, which makes it possible for more work to be achieved in less time.

S.G.O. will be demonstrating Mistika, which is the most powerful, most cost effective post-production finishing tool around. A sneak preview of Mistika version 2.5's new features due for release next year will be disclosed at the stand and a demonstration of version 2.0 will divulge its true real-time capabilities and infinite flexibility.

The programmers behind the software will be at the stand to elaborate on the new features which include a hardware-based geometry engine integrated within Mistika's colour corrector interface for enhanced GL support through open graphics cards; multi-mastering to other formats; new render modes respecting the original time code; new fully Cineon compliant log-to-linear conversion tool for 8bit / 10BIT DPX and DPX + Alpha formats; browser based selection tools and ganging; effect parameter timeline propagation and much much more.

Mistika uniquely combines infinite layer compositing, digital intermediate quality colour grading and has a time line based operation. Top industry online editors have described Mistika as the fastest editing, compositing and grading solution available.

With its exceptional ability to combine complex tasks with immense speed it comes to reason why companies like Das Werks, OPTIX, BCMB and Baraka, to name a few, are using the system and believe in it. Mistika is fully resolution independent, allowing multiple formats to be edited natively and non-destructively on the same timeline without rendering.

Based on fast multi-processor Linux machines running on RedHat, Mistika offers unmatched speed. Mistika's has a clustered networking rendering solution called Totem to help deliver projects on time and within budget. Also, by operating a Mistika SAN, large projects can be shared with ease throughout the facility allowing multiple suites to work on the same project at the same time. Come and see what real-time really looks like. Witness it for yourself; you have to see it to believe it.
