Absolutely No Compromise
Bluefish444’s Create enjoys the pedigree of a proven track record delivering absolutely ‘No Compromise’ professional results. Engineered using the highest quality components, Bluefish444 delivers it’s superior quality through the power of hardware based parallel processing. Create boasts perfect signal processing, delivering pristine image quality in 2K, HD and SD resolutions. Extreme reliability in mission critical environments makes Create the Professionals’ Choice.

No Compromise hardware scaling for up down and cross conversion between 2K,HD and SD
If you are in Post Production, Broadcast Graphics or Corporate/Events production, the broadcast quality scaling of Create gives you the accuracy and confidence to scale, preview and master between 2K, HD and SD in a single pass! With Bluefish444’s flexible user interface controlling the hardware scaler, the multiple preview and mastering choices are yours to tailor to suit your workflow.

Scaling includes up/down conversions between 2K, HD and SD for HD monitoring of film, between HD&SD for simultaneous production of both formats no matter which you have chosen to shoot in. Covering anamorphic, letterbox and centre cut or ‘pillarbox’ 4:3 footage and scaling to 16:9 SD footage for full screen monitoring. Real-time cross conversions from 720 to 1080 and 1080 to 720, real-time frame rate conversions with 2:3:2:3 and 2:3:3:2 cadences (3:2 pull down). With Create’s Scaling architecture there are truly no compromises.

Featuring a hardware based 25 X 25 TAP Sinc(x) scaling algorithm that provides for a 1/128th sub pixel scaling accuracy giving the most accurate and crisp scaling available today. Bluefish have learnt from industry leaders what is required at the high end and we are delivering this scaling technology to you at a fraction of the cost.

No compromise 12 bit processing for real-time effects and greater productivity
Bluefish444 products are renowned for their highest quality 12 bit real-time RGB <-> YUV color space conversion for monitoring compositing and animation graphics in the true YUV broadcast colour space. The 12 bit video processing used throughout Create offers four times the quality of traditional 10 bit pixel depth video processing.

For the editor, supporting the full complement of the Adobe Premiere Pro and Apple Final Cut Pro real-time effects engine with hardware scaling accelaration means, no matter what ‘hat’ you’re wearing, you can make the most of your time with less interruptions with greater real-time effects productivity.

And because Bluefish provides it’s renowned digital intermediary capture and playback application in Symmetry, capturing footage in any pixel format or video resolution, for the professional compositor is an absolute breeze.
