  • Display in a clear way of the left eye and the right eye clips, in different modes (anaglyph, side-by-side, interlaced or mesh).
  • Combination of the left and right images into a stereoscopic stream played in Real Time for reviewing.

SUCCESSFUL CONFORMING. ALWAYS.

  • Transparent 3D conforming process, automatically performed either from a single EDL referring to both eyes, or from 2 EDLs

STEREOSCOPIC DAILIES SILKY PROCESS

  • Pan, Scan and Mirroring functionalities, including the keystone effects management
  • 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 function for an immediate correction of the difference of luminance in the cameras
  • Convergence settings permitting the management of the depth


GRADE STEREO3D WITH EFFICIENCY

  • The entire grading toolbox is also available for Stereo3D footage : StoryBoard mode for grading clips as an ensemble, animation of the convergence parameters, duplication of grades using the GradeLibrary and the QuickStore or the Versioning mode.
