Pure Digital Services And Mistika Deliver ARRI RAW Real-time 3K DPX Workflows

Leading digital service provider, Pure Digital Services and DI and online specialists, SGO have announced the world's first on-location ARRI RAW full resolution workflow toolset, following Pure Digital's acquisition of a complete Mistika post production system for on-set performance projects.
Pure Digital has collaborated with SGO to develop a unique on-set delivery system based around the stunning ARRI RAW T-Link image capture format. Mistika allows for full 3k resolution playback in real-time and full technical debater on-set. This opens up tremendous possibilities for delivering on-location, a fully debarred 3K DPX with full real-time playback, the same day for full QC and dailies playback.
Mistika will be used to apply look-up tables (LUTs); prepare stereoscopic rushes, as well as convert files to user-friendly formats. Formats include MXF DNxHD for editorial and DPX files for the final online finishing stage of the process.
Mistika boasts unique rapid tools for stereoscopic adjustments and alignments, with the ability to handle files from various cameras such as RED EPIC, ARRI ALEXA, SI-2K and Phantom, amongst many others.
Compositing, grading and conversion of the rushes on-set is then made possible in Mistika, working at remarkable speed in real-time. Mistika also has the real-time functionality for debayering and colour balancing ARRI RAW footage.
Owner of Pure Digital Services Daniel Mulligan stated: "This new development with Mistika really opens up huge possibilities for efficiencies and delivery on location for the ARRI RAW format. No-one else is capable of these debayering speeds on-set and along with full resolution playback, this allows for full delivery QC on-location, saving a tremendous amount of time for any production."
Dan Mulligan has already used Mistika for ARRI RAW V3.0 projects in Australia and India and has been thrilled by the response from producers. Mulligan explained: "After taking delivery of the first ARRI RAW system from SGO we had no hesitation in using it on our projects and the time-saving we experienced really impressed the producers on those productions, so much so, that we are already booked in for more shows in Chile, Canada and again in India."
Geoff Mills, Director of SGO Global Sales and Operations, agreed: "This is an extremely exciting development and SGO is delighted to support Pure Digital in their desire to push the envelope for ARRI RAW on-set delivery. After supplying Dan with a Mistika-based solution, he was able to very quickly produce fully debayered 3K DPXs on location, importantly saving much time and money."
Geoff expanded: "The advantages Mistika brings in this area are highly significant and it is ideally suited for Pure Digital Services' ARRI RAW workflow infrastructure demonstrating once again that the incredible power of Mistika can be effectively used in many parts of the production process."
The new Mistika ARRI RAW on-set delivery system was available to view at the SGO Mistika stand at NAB. Pure Digital Services is now able to supply the world's first ARRI RAW Mistika and Mistika Live systems for production requirements.
