“My immediate reaction was “wow-this is just what I need to do truly reliable work in color-correction and image filtering”. As I worked more with Premiere Pro I noticed the WildblueIAV responded smoothly and dependably. I’m big on feel when it comes to cutting. I don’t want hardware to interrupt my process, so I was really pleased to see how well the card handled all the standard editing tasks. Scrubbing through the timeline, for instance, was magical.”

“I love being able to preview effects in real time before rendering. It’s a wonderful feature, and since a lot of our footage for SD shows is shot using DV and DVCpro cameras, it’s wonderful being able to integrate different kinds of footage into our uncompressed graphic design environments inside Premiere. We use a lot of “real-time” effects, but actually only utilize processors to preview them, and we love it! It almost feels like a mini flame, so our clients are always impressed at the agility of our design process, and the tight integration into After Effects make it feel like we have a super powerful setup, which, I guess, we do.”

Symmetry

Bundled FREE with every BlueFish444 card, the acclaimed Symmetry provides a seamless acquisition, review and playout station for all Windows production environments.

Symmetry dispenses with any loss issues associated with color conversion by giving the user the choice of which color space best suits their needs from 8bit YUV up to 16bit RGB. With completely frame accurate deck control Symmetry frees up the creative process to design and create rather than waste countless hours managing complex NLE systems just to get media in and out of a workstation.
Equally comfortable as a digital intermediary or as a capture and playback solution for digital content creators, compositors and editors; Symmetry’s interface, to quote one customer is “monkey simple” with all the capabilities of much more expensive systems.
