1 Nucoda GRADING FINISHING REV R1

2 Core Features Overview We understand that our customers need more than just leading toolsets to create sophisticated look enhancements, but more importantly our solutions need to work with multiple camera and file formats, allow collaborative workflows, and deliver finished content for different viewing platforms including stereoscopic 3D. Full 64 bit native applications Make use of all available system memory and cope with the biggest images, including 4K. Multi-layer timeline Multi monitor support with different resolution configurations makes working on complex timelines a breeze. Lay out and process your material in a natural and flexible way, with multiple video and audio tracks. Timeline and shot bookmarks allow for better organisation and retrieval of information. Easily add different versions of shots to the same timeline. Effect save and recall Import and Conform I2 Rendering Engine Support for a massive number of image sequences as well as standard list formats like EDL and CUT Lists. Automatically extract metadata and conform sequences. Library Nucoda interface Full support for multiple monitors Nucoda Look Save and recall effects using notes, from single effects to complicated multi-layered effects. Create a library of notes and apply to any segment on any timeline in any project. Unobtrusive background rendering ensures you always have the best results available without interruption. Any project can be rendered on any Nucoda platform. GPU acceleration Nucoda Nucoda Look is an entry level grading solution based on the industry leading Digital Vision image science technology and Nucoda colour tools. It is ideally suited for use as a pre-grade assist station, either in the facility or on-set. When used as a preparation station for the Nucoda, it can be used to ingest or conform video or film content directly onto the timeline ready for editing and pre-processing. It is also an excellent post grade deliverables system. Nucoda is the premium colour grading and finishing solution for feature films, commercials and broadcast applications. It combines a creative tool set, and a very tight integration with the Avid workflow including full support for Interplay. A powerful library for managing all imported and referenced material with sorting, searching and sophisticated metadata handling. Automatic library folder creation and item naming options on file import based on user configurable metadata extraction. A realtime Master layer accelerates rendering on Pan & Scan and Colour Correction work. Multiple formats can be used and delivered from the same timeline. Globally apply final crops or resizes. Interoperability Support for AJA Kona 3G, Kona 4 and DVS Atomix HDMI Setting new standards in the highest quality, Nucoda is now a fully featured ACES grading system, featuring HDR grading and and real time EXR file support. With an industry leading colour toolset used by clients such as Walden Media and Pixar Animation Studios, Nucoda creates complex looks and visual styles for animation, 2k/4k and S3D stereoscopic. RAW Camera Support With over 20 years of image science culminating in the Digital Vision Optics () suite of enhancement tools, Nucoda ensures the highest quality imagery available. World class interoperability with third-party systems supporting industry standard formats like Avid DNxHD, AAF, MXF and Apple ProRes. Read and write Avid DNxHD formats, MXF and Quicktime formats. Layer based tools Every tool can have extremely powerful isolation and routing functionality. Isolation can be matte based, userdefined shape based or undertaken via sophisticated keyer functionality. Layers can be selectively cached to streamline operations and greatly enhance user interactivity.

3 Today s post production environment has seen an explosion in the number of cameras, file formats and distribution channels required for many jobs. These new formats also need to coexist and stay compatible with older formats and assets, which can result in much greater project complexity and data management headaches for the production. ACES solves this problem by delivering a single post production workflow that keeps all production assets at their maximum possible quality and providing the full benefit of High Dynamic Range (HDR) production pipelines. Precision Control Panel The Precision control surface includes three ergonomic and functional control panels that can be arranged to suit the needs of any colourist. Using a combination of traditional trackballs with rings and high-quality knobs and buttons, operators can move quickly to complete the work in the shortest time possible.

Nucoda comes with ACES support and a full HDR grading capability, including a rich toolset for dealing with colour critical workflows such as HDR capture from ARRI and RED cameras. Flexible Workflows; Easy Integration Nucoda offers the widest range of creative tools, built into the most flexible non nonlinear workflow for digital film or video post production. From ingest, editing, picture enhancement, colour correction, compositing and visual effects, to multi-delivery for any delivery format from HD to 3D. Ingest using an EDL, AAF or cut list, then conform data directly from a SAN, or capture from tape. Support for a wide range of file formats such as EXR, DPX, R3D, Arri, Sony F65, Quicktime and MXF means you can bypass copying and transcoding completely. Comprehensive conforming tools prepare your timeline with cuts, transitions and varispeed commands. Or use the powerful automated scene detector to quickly analyse your reels in the background. Timeline overview Full support for the new ACES colour space which includes support and real time playback of the new SMPTE ACES EXR file format. Expansive, High-end Colour Tools Lionel Kopp, Senior Colourist at Film Factory It was all about the color palette and choosing visuals that we wanted in the story. If you have to worry about how the pipeline is going to work, that takes time away from what is important. Nucoda has freed us from those concerns. That is why we started with one, and now have three. Nucoda creative and corrective colour tools combine a traditional approach to grading with the power and flexibility of digital technology. Select the colour tool that suits the task best; from Printer Lights through Colour Curves to Brightness Regions. With the unlimited multi-layer timeline you can combine capabilities, using different isolation layer tools including the new I-Keyer to produce complex looks quickly. Achieve dynamic grades and Keyer animation of effects parameters, and manipulate and track individual shapes on a individual transform or per-point basis, to refine that look over the whole shot.

4 List Management With Nucoda you can view all the events in a composition as thumbnails, as a contact sheet list view in either source or record order, giving direct access to any track, playhead, or event. From here any part of a grade or its dynamics can be copied to the current shot. Easily-accessible Memories speed the workflow, offering different ways to store and recall, all or part of your grades and dynamics from shot to shot. Notes enable you to save unlimited numbers of these snapshots in folders so that you can assemble libraries of looks and access them in any project. A QuickNotes feature give you direct access for up to eight Notes from the control panel with a single key press. The DI Suite Access to the Industry standard image processing toolset* With over 20 years of research and development the company s integrated image processing software tools have become one of the most revered toolsets in the post production industry. Known for presenting the best image manipulation tools for restoration, enhancement and format conversion, they are only available on the Nucoda and Phoenix platforms. You can view, render and exchange Nucoda projects in all Digital Vision software applications, releasing the system for further client work. Add a Nucoda Look preparation workstation, sharing the same SAN, and you have a truly collaborative suite. Add our unique Digital Vision Optics () tools to the assist stations to off-load preparation tasks such as grain management or dust busting.

Using the Nucoda we re increasingly adding vfx such as lens flares and sky replacements as part of the grading process where previously these would have been completed in the online/fx suites. Integrating these tools as part of the grade enables us to seamlessly blend these elements into the rest of the programme.
