Products: Autodesk

More Lustre

Since its acquisition of Alias in 2006, Autodesk has been steadily boosting the acquired products, including the Lustre color-grading platform.

Now, as graphics processing technology blossoms, Lustre's GPU-accelerated software reaches interactive speeds that allow it to be integrated with the rest of Autodesk's effects processing gear. At NAB 2007, Lustre gained an expanded GPU-accelerated grading toolset, GPU-acceleration for all secondary layers, and realtime playout to video of primary and secondary grades without rendering. Other useful features include VTR emulation and enhancements to video playout.

Demos at the show featured networked Lustre, Flame, and Smoke working in parallel from the same source media; a colorist could grade in Lustre while Flame or Smoke artists handled the finishing and effects chores without the need to spend time with video I/O, data transfer, and unnecessary media duplication. www.autodesk.com
