?Conduit Studio will have a tremendous impact on the overall workflow of today?s compositors, directors and artists by offering flexibility, advanced architecture and powerful tools in one solution,? says Alex Lindsay, dvGarage founder and chief architect. ?Conduit also utilizes the processing speed and power of the computer?s GPU; as a result users are seeing better performance and color precision than an application can offers on its own, and rendering is done in real time.?
Developed in partnership with Lacquer?s Ben Syverson and Pauli Ojali, Conduit utilizes Apple?s FxPlug technology to combine high-end nodal compositing with high-performance Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) acceleration, providing users with a powerful variety of visual effects compositing tools that render in real time. By relying on the GPU, Conduit provides blazing fast render speeds to augment the power of an ?open-ended? compositing environment. As a result, users can do complex effects, even to HD frames, without incurring much or any delay.
A list of Conduit?s key features is as follows:
* Real-time HD performance
* Advanced color correction capabilities
* Film-class color precision
* Flexible node-based workflow
* Artifact-free color manipulation
* Blazing speed
* Easy-to-use
