Software Configurations

Autodesk Lustre Incinerator Master Station

The Autodesk Lustre/Autodesk® Incinerator® Master Station software provides an ultra-high-performance, all-in-one solution for real-time digital grading. It is designed for highly interactive sessions, where the colorist works together with clients and cinematographers.

An integral component of this configuration is the Autodesk Incinerator inline clustering technology. Incinerator significantly increases system performance and interactivity, enabling colorists to apply primary grades, multiple layers of complex secondary color correction, and various effects in real time (actual performance may vary depending on number and complexity of secondary shapes as well as type of effect applied) at HD and 2K resolutions. Autodesk Incinerator is a completely modular system based on open commodity hardware such as the latest in multicore technology and InfiniBand® technology.

Autodesk Lustre Master Station

The Lustre Master Station is a leading high-performance color-grading solution designed to handle projects, from SD and HD video, to 2K/4K feature film digital intermediates. Offering graphics processing unit (GPU) acceleration for real-time performance and support for high-resolution imagery, compressed media, and high-bit depth file formats, the Lustre Master Station is one of the industry’s most widely adopted applications for color grading in feature film digital intermediate (DI). Including a broad creative toolset, the Lustre Master Station is designed for interactive sessions, where the colorist works together with the cinematographer.

Autodesk Lustre HD Station

The Lustre HD Station is a cost-effective configuration that harnesses the power of the GPU to accelerate primary and secondary grading capabilities, providing interactivity and real-time capabilities for SD and HD television grading. Based on the same creative toolset as the Lustre Master Station, Lustre HD is the ideal solution for a broad range of post-production facilities, broadcasters, and independent HD film DI facilities working on short- or long-form content.

Autodesk Lustre Assistant Station

The Lustre Assistant Station can be used by an assistant to perform many noncreative preparatory tasks such as shape tracking, dust-busting, and video I/O. As an integral component of a collaborative color-grading workgroup, the Lustre Assistant Station enhances workflow efficiency, helping to free up the colorist to concentrate on the highly creative, client-facing color-grading tasks.
