M I S T reads natively any type of file, without previous transcoding, allowing a smooth and immediate control of your dailies, whatever their source is. You are able to review and approve your material at all industry standards, thanks to the support of SDI and DVI outputs. Blanking tools available in M I S T brings to dailies presentations a final content feel, with the correct aspect ratio displayed and the audio if existing.
M I S T has a versioning mode, allowing memorizing up to 8 different color grades per clip, instantly retrievable. The batch convert feature allows rendering in the same time of multiple data formats (DPX, QuickTime or MXF files, etc).
As a virtual telecine, M I S T can create scene-by-scene or Best Light transfers, using its wide array of primary grading tools. The Grade Library offers useful features for storing and immediately recalling grades, with access to every existing project: color decisions of previous shooting days or previous seasons in a TV series can be applied on the fly in a copy/paste manner, saving a lot of time.
M I S T is available as a specific turn-key version for on-set and near-set dailies review and storage. With extended ingest capabilities and disk capacity M I S T offers an answer to any "from on-set to post-house" continuity challenge.

The tools available in M I S T allow to automatically, semi-automatically or manually conform the projects. Each specific conforming situation has a dedicated solution.
M I S T supports a multitude of source types, ranging from tape to scanners to digital cameras. Conforming is done easily, with precise tools, personalized for every contingency, no matter the file format.
With an accurate management of both time codes and key codes and the decoding of the existing metadata, M I S T is able to conform from compositions in XML (from Final Cut Pro) to AAF and OMF formats.
M I S T recreates transitions and dissolves in respect with editorial decisions.
M I S T is able to read and write ALE and other log files, allowing editorial modifications and information exchange between solutions at any time all along the workflow.
The EDL CMX3600 support is easily performed thanks to specific renaming tools and list manipulation capabilities, allowing the creation of a composition that can be normally conformed.
M I S T allows you to automatically upconvert or downconvert you video files on the fly.
Color space REC709 is also available, including in the scopes and in the color wheels setting.
M I S T is able to capture and record on HDCAM SR and any other VTR, in order to produce excellent quality masters.
M I S T has a slave and a master mode, allowing to control or be controlled by any other device with RS422 Sony 9Pin capabilities.
M I S T is able to playout audio channels 16/24 bits 48kHz synchronized with the image.
The unlimited layers of audio in M I S T TimeLine are independent, allowing to perfectly align and match image and sound.
M I S T supports WAV files and SDI embedded audio. A VU meter is available for the monitoring of 24-bit SDI embedded audio, 16 channels, 48kHz.
M I S T natively plays back in real time the stereoscopic files, with no import, whatever the source is and whether the viewing devices are 3D enabled or not.
M I S T interface displays in a clear way the left eye and the right eye clips, in different modes (anaglyph, side-by-side, interlaced or mesh).
The conforming process in 3D is transparent for the user, and is automatically performed from a single EDL referring to both eyes, or from 2 EDLs. You can face any offline editing situation.
The Pan, Scan and Mirroring functionalities allow a maximum of flexibility whatever the camera rig configuration was used. Primary Grading can be applied either on the Left, Right or both eyes, and can be easily compared (per eye, dissolved, etc), memorized and recalled.
Automatic color balance allows the immediate correction of the difference of luminance in the cameras, and Convergence settings permit the management of the depth.
M I S T outputs stereoscopic files in both dual link and single link modes: there is no need to buy extra expensive stereo processor, and delivery can be adjusted for Cinema projection or Home TV content very easily.
M I S T is able to render stereoscopic files side-by-side, allowing a quick review of the result in a QuickTime in YouTube, or in separated files.
