Livegrade Studio Introduction
Livegrade Studio is a product of Pomfort GmbH, a Munich, Germany-based company known for its innovative software solutions for digital imaging and color grading in professional film and television production. Below are examples of recent films that have been color-tuned using Livegrade.
Its comprehensive capabilities enable filmmakers to fine-tune colors while shooting while also ensuring superior image quality. Define the desired look on set, immediately use it to automate dailies, and pass it on to post-production — saving time and enhancing the overall visual quality for the team. React quickly to scene changes required by the DP and make real-time grading with rapid iterations to achieve the desired look. With real-time responsive look adjustments and reference recordings, the team has enough information to evaluate creative decisions.
COEX’s color grading can meet the regular application of LED screen, but colorists are more accustomed to using Livegrade, we meet their demands! COEX has already achieved full compatibility with the Livegrade color grading program.
Livegrade Studio now allows for interactive real-time grading by controlling the 3D LUT in the connected COEX processors. Basic CDL adjustments allow to perfectly match the foreground perfectly, and the content on the LED displays into a seamless result. If customers need more advanced color grading than COEX’s existing color adjustment system, we can recommend they use the Livegrade.
Let’s unlock a new era of visual splendor with Livegrade Studio and NovaStar!
Livegrade with COEX Device Grading Principle
3D LUT is the basis of real-time grading between Livegrade and COEX. LUT (Lookup Table) is a kind of data table that stores the projection relationship between the input color and the output color, LUT file can realize the color correction and stylization effect by projecting the input color to the specific output color.
An API (Application Programming Interface) is a set of rules or protocols that enables software applications to communicate with each other to exchange data, features, and functionality. MX40 Pro/MX2000 Pro/MX6000 Pro realizes real-time color grading of the screen by using the API to send the 3D LUT for Livegrade Studio software, which sends many LUT files in a short time.
