DCC HD/SD 4:2:2 workflows 
 

Create|HD

 is targeted at the uncompressed HD/SD digital content creation workflow. It is ideal 

for creative artists looking to connect digital VTR‟s, cameras and monitors working in either HD 
or SD SDI.  
 

Create|HD

 allows for hardware based real-time up, down or cross-conversion during capture or 

playback. The same hardware based scaler intuitively accelerates real time effects within 
supported NLE and compositing software. Additionally, dual SDI outputs allow for original and 
converted signals to be output simultaneously. 

Create|3D 

File based digital intermediary 4:4:4 & 4:2:2 3D workflows 
 

Create|3D

 is targeted at the file based workflow of independent film making. Ingested files are 

edited and previewed from within Adobe Creative Suite and Final Cut Studio as part of an offline 
workflow.  
The offline project can then be used to re-conform color corrected material and mastered to SD, 
HD or 2K resolutions in single link, dual link or 3D stereoscopic output modes. 
 

Create|3D

 

has 3 X 1D LUT‟s on all outputs allowing for calibration of the display device and 

log/linea

r conversion. Create|3D‟s DVI/HDMI preview output contains a high quality hardware 

based scaler. This converts the selected input or output to the LCD/Plasma‟s native resolution 
and frame rate, bypassing the lower quality internal scaler of the LCD/Plasma. This provides for 
low cost and flexible monitoring within the workflow as a wide range of TFT, Plasma and 
projectors can be used. 
 

Create|3D

 incorporates the 

Create|HD

 feature set and builds upon it by having dual link and 3D 

stereoscopic output and a high quality DVI/HDMI preview output.

Bluefsh444 has built its reputation on RGB workflows and 

Create|3D Ultra

 brings together our 

10 years of expertise in a cost-effective product integrated tightly with Symmetry for windows DI 
& 3D acquisition, preview and playback software.
