Bluefish444 Announces 2K Lust and 2K Symmetry
On April 14, 2007,in S. Melbourne, Australia Bluefish444 announced the 2K| Lust video card. 2K | Lust features I/O support for film 2K resolution via HSDL (High Speed Data Link) for integration with telecine and film scanning devices, real time hardware scaling, cropping and color processing and real time SDI monitoring of HSDL output. 2K|Lust is a free software upgrade to HD | Lust, the industry’s most popular and widely used HD 4:4:4 video card.
Symmetry, Bluefish444’s powerful DI, acquisition, review and playout software which is bundled free with Bluefish444 hardware, has been upgraded to support the new features of 2K|Lust, creating the complete 2K DI solution.
2K|Lust includes the following features:
• 2048 X 1556 resolution at HSDL frame rate for telecine and film scanners
• 2048 X 1080 resolution at 24p/psf frame rate for digital cinema
• Additional monitoring BNC connector for simultaneous real time scaling (up and down conversion), cropping, windowing, aspect ratio correction and 3:2 pull down of the 2K output signal,(including HSDL & Panavision) as HD SDI or SD SDI, including widescreen.
• 3 X 1D dedicated LUT’s for viewing LOG images as Linear and for color calibration on an HD/SD broadcast monitor.
• VANC (digitized 3 line VITC) support for time code and key code within the SDI signal.
• An intuitive feature control application to set the hardware scaling, panning & windowing parameters and the loading of anti-log files.
2K | Lust overcomes color banding issues encountered when monitoring fine gradation images on 8 bit DVI devices. Its capacity to calibrate the film image output to 10 bit SDI monitors provides the highest quality monitoring 2K solution available in the industry.
Providing 2K | Lust and 2K Symmetry to current HD | Lust customers via a free software upgrade means they will not need to alter their existing HD Lust hardware configuration. A 2|K Lust software upgrade also means that Bluefish444 customers can upgrade at a time most convenient for them, such as in between projects.
