Baraka Post Production recently took delivery a new Mistika postproduction system installed on an HP workstation running Linux.
The new system will replace an aging SGI-based Mistika suite in the Soho post house. Fully HD capable, the new system comes with nearly 10 hours of HD storage. Baraka has recently completed two high profile RAC direct insurance commercials using the new system along with the Furnace Suite.
This first Mistika system also has been joined by a second new suite, tied together with a SAN infrastructure. The SAN will allow collaborative working between suites on the same project and seamless transfers of jobs between suites.
Mistika is a resolution independent, time-line based and infinite layer online editing, grading and compositing solution with a stable of effects that include high-speed motion tracking, morphing, warping, title, vector paint, RGB and YUV color correction and a wide range of combinable filters and keying tools.
