Stereo (3D) Editorial Workflow for Mac and Windows

CineForm’s Neo3D delivers a comprehensive 3D editorial workflow on both Mac and Windows to improve efficiency and reduce end-to-end costs for creating 3D content. Neo3D is compatible with most NLE and effects software that support QuickTime or AVI files such as Final Cut Pro, Premiere Pro, Sony Vegas, After Effects, and others. During editorial, Neo3D allows for choosing 3D display modes for an external monitor, real-time adjustment of convergence (horizontal, vertical, rotation), keystoning, and color controls, all performed in real time and implemented as Active Metadata.

With Neo3D you get:

Full 3D editorial workflow: CineForm 3D files are editable in Final Cut Pro on Mac, Premiere Pro on Windows, or other common industry tools in the same manner as any CineForm 2D file.

First Light™ 3D: the heart of Neo3D. All 2D and 3D adjustments are implemented as Active Metadata under control of First Light. The First Light application is kept active during editorial and allows adjustments of 2D and 3D Active Metadata parameters.

Display Support for most 3D monitors: Real-time assembly into various 3D presentation formats during 3D decode: dual-link stereo (Mac only), side-by-side, over-under, field interlace, or anaglyph. Allows use of inexpensive consumer monitors and glasses for 3D editorial.

Real-time Convergence Adjustment: Adjustments forhorizontal, vertical or rotational offsets between Left and Right eyes are applied in real time during 3D decode based on Active Metadata parameters. Convergence adjustment in editorial can save substantial labor and equipment dollars normally spent on 3D conform.

Keystoning Adjustment: Allows correction for camera toe-in/out

Stereo or Individual Eye Color Adjustment: Active Metadata controls adjust color parameters (white balance, RGB matrix, 3D LUTs) for both eyes simultaneously or individual eyes.

Image Flip: Horizontal or vertical image flip on individual eyes corrects for beam-splitter image inversion.

3D file creation: Convert most camera or file-based sources into CineForm stereo files.

Includes Neo 4K: Neo3D includes all the 2D editorial and file creation features included in Neo4K to simplify associated 2D file creation.

Note: Prospect3D is available for Windows users of CS3 and CS4 only. All others should use Neo3D. See details on the Features page.
