Introduction
1
2
Central to any system is the Master Station or HD Station. The Master Station is a high-end
Windows®- or Linux®-based PC designed to accommodate real-time interactivity in a client-
attended or supervised session. You can add a Lustre Station to improve the efficiency of your
pipeline.
Master Station — Includes the full Lustre toolset and is designed for GPU-accelerated sessions
where the colorist works together with the cinematographer. Contains an extensive creative
toolset for more elaborate visual design and grading using up to 4K resolution and 16-bit files
and for completing tasks like dust removal, conforming, rotoscoping and capture/playout.
HD Station — Cost-effective GPU workstation for conforming, preparing, grading and
mastering short-form and long-form HDTV projects, as well as HD film projects. Input up to
10-bit 2K and output HD and SD.
Lustre Station — Tasks that do not require the direct intervention or supervision of the
colorist can be efficiently handled by a Lustre Station. Multiple Lustre Stations can work in
parallel to increase throughput and can be used for tasks such as dust removal, preparatory
work, fine-tuning creative sessions, conforming data from EDLs, updating editorial changes
using change lists, and mastering to different formats using the real-time deliverables function.
Lustre Workstation Features
The following table describes the features available to each Lustre workstation.
N OTE : The features of Lustre 2008 may vary based on your hardware platform. Consult the
Autodesk Lustre 2008 Release Notes for details.
Station Configuration
Master Station Default — All features are available including SD and HD I/O, dual link and
HSDL video formats and the DI Pack, which consists of infrared channel
dust removal and support for all standard input and output resolutions
and bit-depths. Certain features require add-on licensing.

Optional Lustre Components
You can expand the features of your Lustre system and improve the efficiency of your workflow
by adding any of the following components.
Control Surface — The Autodesk control surface provides improved interactivity when
colour grading film and video footage. You can perform many of the same tasks you do in the
Lustre user interface using the control surface.
Video I/O — Video I/O is provided by the DVS Centaurus® board, which consists of an HD/
SD board and a breakout box. This configuration provides real-time SDI input and output of
uncompressed 8- or 10-bit HD or SD video in both YUV (4:2:2) and RGB formats (4:4:4 or
4:2:2).
For a list of supported video formats, see the Autodesk Lustre 2008 User’s Guide.
Slave Renderer — The Slave Renderer is a rack-mounted server that is connected directly to
the Lustre workstation. It frees system resources by off-loading render tasks on an ‘as-needed’
basis, thus ensuring real-time interaction on the Lustre system.
Background Renderer — Background rendering frees up Lustre workstations for colour
grading. You can use up to eight background rendering machines to process your final frames.
N OTE : For a list of Incinerator system components, refer to the Autodesk Incinerator 2008

Ensuring Proper Environmental Conditions
You should consider the following environmental guidelines for all hardware configurations:
• Make sure the rack in which hardware components are installed is open or ventilated. Follow
the ventilation specifications that apply to your system.
• Place all components in an air-conditioned environment. All hardware components generate
heat and must be kept cool. See “Power and Air Conditioning Requirements” on page 8.
• Keep all hardware components in a clean, dust-free location.
• Minimize vibration and humidity.
• Do not block the vents on the component housing.
• Do not drape anything, such as a jacket or a blanket, over hardware components.
• Minimize electromagnetic noise by separating digital data and power cables from analog
audio cables and running them in different cable ducts.
Power and Air Conditioning Requirements
The values for power consumption and heat output were recorded on an Autodesk certified
system with all of the required peripheral and certified components.
N OTE : These values can fluctuate if uncertified hardware components or third-party applications
are added to your system. The use of uncertified hardware components or third-party applications
is not supported. Please consult the manufacturer’s documentation for standardized minimum
and maximum values.
The following table summarizes the power consumed by the IBM 6223 system and the heat it
generates under the maximum processing load produced by your Lustre system. For detailed
specifications, including noise output, see the documentation provided by the manufacturer.
You must be able to meet the startup power requirement and have a climate control system with
the capacity to maintain the temperature of this component under the maximum processing
load. Refer to the following table for standard conversion benchmarks and an example of how
they are used to establish climate control requirements.

and User’s Guide.
Avoiding Damage from Static Electricity
When installing any hardware equipment, take the following precautions to prevent damage to
sensitive components from static discharge:
• Make sure power is turned off on the component you are working on. It is a good idea to
unplug components until all other connections are configured.
• Always wear a grounded static wrist strap. Attach the strap’s alligator clip to any grounded
metal surface on the component’s chassis that you are working on. Place the wristband around
your wrist.
• Do not handle any components unnecessarily, particularly boards and cards that slide in and
out of slots on their parent hardware components.
Grounding Hardware Components
It is important to properly ground any audio components used with Lustre to avoid ground
loops and humming. To ensure audio components are properly grounded, use the XLR-3
cables. Using any other cables may cause humming in the system.
Receiving Your Lustre
When you receive the shipment containing your Lustre, check all the boxes for dents or other
markings that may indicate damage during transport. If you suspect a component is damaged,
carefully inspect it before setting up the system. If you receive a damaged component, call
Customer Support.
Use the enclosed packing checklist to ensure you received all parts.
Notation Conventions
A number of style conventions are used throughout this guide. These conventions and
examples of their use are shown as follows.
Unit Conversion Example
1 Watt = 3.413 BTU 480 Watts = 1638 BTU
12000 BTU = 1 Ton of air conditioning 1638 BTU = 0.137 Ton of air conditioning

Workflow for Connecting Peripherals
You must connect peripherals (monitor, keyboard, mouse, storage, and network) to each Lustre
workstation before you connect the workstations to video I/O, a control surface, or to other
components in the workgroup.
Connect all hardware peripherals before you boot your workstation.
See the following table for a summary of the steps necessary to connect peripherals to your
Lustre workstation.

Connection Diagrams for the IBM 6223/FX5500 with SDI Card in
Punchout
The following diagrams show the connections for an IBM 6223 workstation with a punchout to
accommodate the NVIDIA® FX5500 SDI card. This configuration leaves an open slot for an
optional card. On Windows-based workstations, an optional QLA adapter is available. On
Linux workstations, you can select either an optional QLA adapter or an Infiniband adapter
(standard on Incinerator).
You can upgrade your FX4000 card to an FX5500 yourself if you have enough slots for the main
board and the NVIDIA SDI daughter card, or, if you have a punchout to accommodate the SDI
card.
The following configurations require a punchout for the NVIDIA SDI card. The punchout must
be performed by an authorized Autodesk technician. Contact your sales representative if you
want to upgrade your workstation to this configuration.
N OTE : These diagrams provide an overview of video I/O connections. For more details, see
“Connecting Video I/O to a Master or HD Station” on page 34.
Step: Refer to:
1. Review the connection diagram for your workstation. • “Connection Diagrams for the IBM
6223/FX5500 with SDI Card in
Punchout” on page 14.
• “Connection Diagram for the IBM
6223/FX5500 with SDI Card in PCI
Slot” on page 16.
• “Connection Diagrams for the IBM
6223/NVIDIA FX4000” on page
17.
2. Connect a keyboard and mouse to your workstation. “Connecting the Keyboard and
Mouse” on page 20.
3. Connect a monitor to the workstation.
“Connecting the Monitor” on page
20.
4. Connect a calibration device to the workstation.
“Connecting the Monitor
Calibration Device” on page 20.
5. Connect the workstation to storage.
“Connecting Storage” on page 21.
6. Connect the workstation to your network.
“Network Connections” on page
23.
7. After you connect all the peripherals to your Lustre
workstations, you can connect the workgroup
components together.
