Abekas Dveous
Knobs, display, quick keys, numeric keypad, and joystick have been intuitively positioned so you can create fast, without mistakes.
Create perfect, natural, object rotation in seconds. Hit the right coordinates, at the right time. Continuously. Effortlessly. No afternoons burnt by tedious keyframe setting. No headaches trying to determine where the next coordinate should be. Just let the machine take over.
Spin doctor.
The new Dveous OrbitalFX feature gives you the spinning effect you want, without cutting a second into your deadline. Simply specify amplitude, frequency, and waveform, and let the ingenious oscillators handle the rest. These automatic number generators find trails of coordinates that make your orbit smooth, gravity-like, instead of jerky, man-made. All you have to do is turn them on.
Clutch performer.
When the world is watching, you've got to step it up. Abekas knows that well. Just think of the sharpness, clarity, and power of the Olympics, the Academy Awards, or the effects-crazed X Games - all Dveous.
That famous Dveous picture quality comes from superior ingredients. Like 23x12-point video filters and four-point store output interpolators.
These guarantee superb image quality for picture expansion and compression. And all picture transform information is calculated to 1.2nS spatial precision with full 10 bits per pixel resolution.
This is the soul of Dveous. You can't touch it. And neither can any other DVE manufacturer.
Detail oriented.
What's on your mind? Something flat and static? Not exactly. That's why you need Dveous UltraWarp and SurfaceFX features. They're all about detail.
Start with anything. Warp it. Swirl it. Now shed some light on it. Maybe a spotlight from front-left on the first channel. And soft blue flood lights shining from 50 feet down the z-axis for the second channel (don't forget about channels three and four, or five through eight on a Brutus 5400).
Next, add some texture. You can pull from live video, or from a texture framestore sitting on a floppy. And for the final touch of realism, cast the perfect shadow. Full bandwidth SuperShadow gives you independent control of all transforms and warps. Ripple them, italicize them, or anything else you could possibly want.
And remember, waiting has no part in the Dveous experience. You see the interaction between your warps, lighting, texture, and shadow effects instantly.
Perfectionist.
The keyframe based TimeFrame Effects Editor gives you the precision, the control, and the convenience you've been craving. Now you have independent effect timelines, which allow you to fix one channel without rebuilding the entire sequence.
And how about perfecting color? Dveous offers four reTouch Color Correctors - one for each channel. Each has RGB/YUV control so you can independently color correct in YUV color space, or translate and upsample the video to 4:4:4 RGB. Either way, you have control of black, white, gamma and knee on each of the color components. Additional controls include hue, rotation and saturation. You can even solarize, posterize and invert each color component with precise control. Whether you want to match sources, or simply improve on the original, this option does it all.
