Bluefish444 Announces 2K|Lust and 2K Symmetry Software

Bluefish444 has announced 2K Lust. 2K Lust features I/O support for film 2K resolution via HSDL (High Speed Data Link) for integration with telecine and film scanning devices, real time hardware scaling, cropping and color processing, and real time SDI monitoring of HSDL output. 2K Lust will be a free software upgrade to HD Lust, the industry's most widely-used HD 4:4:4 video card.



Symmetry, Bluefish444's powerful DI, acquisition, review and playout software which is bundled free with Bluefish444 hardware, will be upgraded to support the new features of 2K Lust, creating the industry's most complete 2K DI solution.

2K Lust includes the following features:

* 2048 X 1556 resolution at HSDL frame rate for telecine and film scanners

* 2048 X 1080 resolution at 24p/psf frame rate for digital cinema

* Additional BNC connector for simultaneous real time up and down conversion, cropping, windowing, aspect ratio correction, and 3:2 pull down of the 2K output signal (including HSDL & Panavision) as HD SDI or SD SDI, including widescreen

* 3 X 1D dedicated LUTs for viewing LOG images as Linear and for color calibration on an HD/SD broadcast monitor

* VANC support for time code and key code within the SDI signal

* An intuitive feature control application to set the hardware scaling, panning & windowing parameters, and the loading of anti-log files

2K Lust overcomes color banding issues associated with monitoring fine gradation images on 8 bit DVI devices. Its capacity to calibrate the film image output to 10 bit SDI monitors provides the highest quality 2K monitoring.

Providing 2K Lust and 2K Symmetry to HD Lust customers via a free software upgrade means customers will not need to alter their existing HD Lust hardware configuration. A 2K Lust software upgrade also means that HD Lust customers can upgrade at a time most convenient for them, such as in between projects.

The 2K Lust and Symmetry software upgrade will be available as a free download from the Bluefish444 website in the first quarter of 2007. Thereafter, 2K Lust and Symmetry will ship as standard, replacing the currently available HD Lust and creating a new Bluefish444 flagship product.
