AFA Products Group Launches ReVISION at NAB 2000

Las Vegas, NV – AFA Products Group, Inc. (Booth # L11522) has launched ReVISION at NAB 2000, a product line that promises to both redefine the art of color correction and dramatically reduce the labor involved in creating some Effects mattes. TRAXIM will accomplish this through automatic, machine vision object-based color correction window and mattes.

TRAXIM is the first new "operator UN-intensive" tool for isolating objects from their background since the chroma key. With a quick and easy highlight stroke, the operator shows TRAXIM which objects are of interest. TRAXIM then defines the edge of the objects or elements with edge-seeking algorithms. Frame by frame, TRAXIM automatically follows the object or element as it moves in the scene using advanced image processing techniques formerly only found in machine vision research labs.

TRAXIM For Color Correction: Staying "operator UN-intensive", TRAXIM's integral DDR chases a telecine or VTR providing real time object-based auto-tracked windows for use in color correction.

COLORDROME, a breakthrough workstation that transcends color correction is available in high or standard definition. COLORDROME, built around TRAXIM, provides "endless" TRAXIM windows and features a comprehensive effects (blur, sharpen, etc.) package for object by object "look correction".

TRAXIM For Effects: TRAXIM's object finding and tracking capabilities are made available to the Effects industry through a Discreet Logic sparks* plug-in, "TRAXIM" or a Windows NT or Linux standalone application - "TRAXIM, Unplugged."
