Products Baselight

Colour grading is a demanding creative and technical process for any production – from commercials and long form television to feature film 4K DI. For any finishing process, flexibility and responsiveness are essential.

Baselight delivers performance that exceeds anything else in the marketplace and Blackboard, the dedicated hardware control surface, is specifically designed for non-linear grading and simplifies the creation of complex grades and effects.

We have gone to great lengths to make Baselight productive for multiple workflows. All decisions are captured in a database so that projects can be shared across users or sites. Every action can be modified until the last possible moment, and powerful video and data conforming tools allow editorial changes.

Baselight is at home with all input and output resolutions and formats, and with linear video and log image sequences. The systems offer real-time connectivity for SD, HD and 2K via tape and SAN systems, and provide audio ingest, record and playback.

Baselight systems incorporate Truelight, providing colour-accurate emulation on any grading display. The systems integrate closely with Northlight, our own high-resolution digital scanner, and telecines.

Clear system and component upgrade paths protect your investment: upgrading to another level is simple because all systems are based on standard PC building blocks. New motherboard and processor technology, graphics and disk systems are installed at very reasonable cost, maintaining performance and value.
