Working with different cameras in different environments can be a real challenge for video producers. There’s no way to know for sure if the camera you’ve got is the right one for the job until you’re on scene. And by then, it might be too late to get the optimal shot. Teradek is hoping to make this problem a thing of the past with its new line of COLR devices.
COLR is a real-time LUT box, camera control bridge, and HDMI/SDI cross-converter in one tiny package. COLR integrates with Pomfort LiveGrade Pro, allowing DITs and colorists to give everyone the right look. There are a total of three products in the COLR line. The first is the COLR Lite and it boasts these features:
- Perfect for GoPros or DSLRs/Mirrorless cameras, COLR Lite offers real-time color grading with 3D LUTs and a CDL or 1D LUT.
- HDMI in / 3G-SDI out.
- USB port for Camera Control and auxiliary power.
- 802.11ac WiFi.
Next up is the COLR Duo:
- All the functionality of the original COLR with a second 3G-SDI output, allowing a unique 33-point 3D LUT and CDL or 1D LUT to be applied to each output.
- 3G-SDI in / 2x 3G-SDI out.
- Gigabit Ethernet and USB ports for Camera Control and auxiliary power.
802.11ac WiFi.
And finally the COLR Pro:
- The world’s first 4K real-time color grading system. Support for two simultaneous 12G-SDI inputs and up to four 12G-SDI outputs, with 2 independently applied 33-point 3D LUTs with a CDL or 1D LUT. Designed to be mounted in a rack or on a DIT cart.
- 2x 12G-SDI + HDMI in / 4x 12G-SDI + HDMI out.
- Gigabit Ethernet for network connectivity.
COLR pricing begins at $1190. Teradek will have demo units available at booth C6025 during NAB Show 2016 in Las Vegas.
