Software control for Blackmagic HDLink
Manipulate preview and recording on set.
Pomfort's LiveGrade application uses Blackmagic HDLink capabilities for live manipulation of HD-SDI images and offers a complete solution for the creation, manipulation and management of looks.
You can manage up to eight Blackmagic HDLink devices on one computer. Each device can be configured for Legal-Range or Extended-Range SDI input and output.
See the LiveGrade knowledge base for more information on configurations and setup of the HDLink devices.
Supporting ARRI Alexa
With Alexa Looks, ARRI defined a set of color controls that is simple to understand but powerful enough for primary grading or "first light" color correction.
With Pomfort LiveGrade you can control the camera's look on a live image (for example during pre-production) and create Alexa Look XML files for use directly in the camera (for production).
For tasks of on-set video assist you can use LiveGrade to refine looks interactively and adapt them to current set requirements.
Support for hardware color panel
Pomfort LiveGrade supports the Avid Artist Color grading panel. Simplify your Alexa Looks creation by using hardware controls.
