Mistika Technology is a high-end post-production solution developed by SGO, a Spanish company with decades of experience in creating and integrating cutting-edge post-production solutions.
Post-production is part of the process of filmmaking, video production, radio production and photography. Post-production includes all stages of production occurring after shooting or recording individual program segments.
Their award-winning post-production Hero Suite Mistika Ultima has achieved market notoriety for developing customized post tools and workflows for many of the industry leaders all around the world. Apart from software solutions, SGO provides their clients with extensive engineering expertise and knowledge. This combination creates personalized high-level workflow solutions, extracting all available processing from hardware and optimizing storage to achieve incredible performance.
Mistika Ultima offers a broad spectrum of flexible and extremely powerful online features and toolsets, essential for finishing, such as color grading, compositing, editing, VFX, S3D, HDR and many more. Mistika Ultima’s unrivaled performance enables real-time interactivity in 4K/UHD resolution, and even 8K, with the result of any creative decision seen instantly at the highest quality.
Mistika Ultima provides native support for various media formats like RED, ARRI RAW, PHANTOM, WEISSCAM and many more. All image processing is done on the GPU, which lets the user do tasks like grading 4k DPX files in real time.
Mistika Ultima is normally provided as a Turnkey solution including software, hardware, and storage, fully configured and pre-tested by SGO specifically for the client workflow.
Agnostic Timeline
One of the elements that makes Mistika Ultima stand out of the crowd is its timeline. Due to its non-restricted nature Mistika Ultima can effectively combine grading with compositing and editing, and also gives ample flexibility to users involved in project management, without fixed audio and video tracks, which makes its design closer to a node tree environment but with layers.
The timeline also supports multiple versions of the same project or edit in the same workspace. A simple example would be several versions of a commercial - the 60 sec, 30 sec and 15 sec version - on the same timeline. Moving the adjustments, grading and effects between versions is done by copy-and-paste or dragging elements and clips between versions. This functionality also works at the clip level, so the user can have infinite versions of the same clip with different effects and grading, and per colour space as well.
In other words, Mistika's timeline is agnostic in most respects. Instead of defining an input/output colour space and gamma curve for the timeline, the user manages the colour science with the Unicolor tool, a function that controls the colour space from one frame, across the entire project, edit or clip. Thus, in the same timeline, it is fairly common to have multiple versions of the same edit with different colour spaces for the different deliveries. For example, the user can have an HDR and an SDR version in the same timeline and compare both versions at the same time in real time.
Stereoscopic 3D success
One of Mistika's biggest successes has been within the stereoscopic 3D world, with many post facilities adopting the system for the growing 3D market, including LA's Identity FX, NYC's WorleyWorks, the UK's BSKYB, Framestore, Preditors, On Sight, BTVPost, and more recently New Zealand's Park Road Post Production.
