Las Vegas, NV—NAB Show, Booth # SL 3816—(April 8, 2013) -- Today at NAB 2013, AJA Video Systems announced an OEM relationship with FilmLight through which its KONA 3G capture and playback card will support multi-channel ingest and playout for FilmLight’s new FLIP real-time image processor. FilmLight will bundle AJA’s KONA 3G as part of FLIP, which is designed to take the power of complex Baselight color correction live on set. Leveraging KONA 3G, FLIP users will be able to easily preview the color grading of live raw footage with a range of HD video I/O channel combinations and can set FLIP to record or playback multiple HD-SDI streams such as 1 in and 3 out, 2 in and 2 out, 3 in and 1 out.

FilmLight’s FLIP applies lookup tables, grades and filter effects to the live output of a camera while shooting on set. Inserted directly in the single or dual-link HD-SDI feed between camera and monitor, it utilizes GPU accelerated hardware, Baselight grading and Truelight 3D LUT technology to apply looks to raw footage to preview how the final grade will appear in post. Features include real-time complex color correction, multiple streams of HD video in and out, support for CDL and ARRI Look oriented workflows, and more. The technology will be on display at NAB in the FLIP booth, #SL 3928, and a full list of features is available here: http://www.filmlight.ltd.uk .

“FilmLight sets a high standard of excellence for our products, and our customers demand the best on-set technology. AJA has paved the way with production-proven products for HD post-production and we intend to offer a future software option to support the KONA 3G’s 4K capabilities, which is why we’ve selected to bundle KONA 3G with FLIP,” said Steve Chapman, Co-Founder, FilmLight.

“It is important to AJA that our products support all facets of HD post-production. FLIP is advancing the ways professionals create real-time dailies, and with the KO 3G, usrs can reap the benefits of on-set HD monitoring with ease,” said Nick Rashby, president, AJA Video Systems.
