Follow on Google News | Dashwood Cinema Solutions To Debut Ground-Breaking 3D Technology Product LineCalibrate, analyze, master, render; Dashwood’s new product line automates complex production tasks and provides an easy transition into Stereo 3D
NEW – Stereo3D CAT™ – Fast and Flawless Camera Alignment & Analysis Stereo3D CAT™ is an on-location software calibration and analysis system that dramatically simplifies the calibration of left and right eye cameras. Equipped with a unique eyestrain warning system, Stereo3D CAT™ scans 3D footage and calculates the correct camera alignment points. Feedback guides illustrate the depth of the 3D shot and provide directors and cinematographers with a visual aide for making convergence adjustments and proper interaxial separation. “3D camera calibration is very time-consuming and complex; Stereo3D CAT™ helps speed up the process by providing both quantified feedback and visual guides that properly and quickly set up your left and right cameras in the rig,” says Dashwood. “What used to take up to an hour, now takes only minutes to accomplish using Stereo3D CAT™. Production crews can finally make quick lens changes without the time-consuming process of re-calibration using traditional charts.” Stereo3D CAT™ Feature Highlights: • • NEW – The Dashwood 3D Chart – Capture Your Best Shot Developed in conjunction with DSC Labs, the Dashwood 3D Chart is a brand new stereoscopic chart that automates the display of accurate 3D rig calibration at unprecedented speeds. When integrated with the new Dashwood Stereo3D CAT™ calibration software or Stereo3D Toolbox v3, the chart’s unique visual code trackers work alongside the applications to automatically track to 1/1,000 of a pixel for ideal stereo alignment. The chart also offers an interface for live feedback to assist in automating camera alignment, sync testing and slating, and color and gamma calibration. For those aligning manually, the Dashwood 3D Chart offers a brand new manual pattern alignment that features DSC Labs’ patented FiddleHead spirals for corner-to-corner focus. NEW – Stereo3D Toolbox™ v3.0 – Flagship 3D Mastering Also being showcased on the stand is the highly anticipated version 3.0 release of Dashwood’s award-winning flagship tool: Stereo3D Toolbox. Utilized by post-production houses around the world for professional stereoscopic 3D mastering on the Mac platform, Stereo3D Toolbox outputs media to a wide range of stereoscopic 3D formats and manages the demuxing of side by side, interlace and over/under formatting. Stereo3D Toolbox’s stereoscopic mastering capabilities include unmatched sub-pixel precision, pixel-precise straight or angled floating windows, high-contrast “ghost toasting,” intuitive preview tools, fine control of image exposure and color balance, 2D+Z-Depth to stereoscopic conversion, and more. Additional top-secret features of Stereo3D Toolbox v3.0 will be revealed just in time for NAB.
