Sony SRW5800/2 User manual

Baselight
Baselight systems provide unparalleled color grading performance and functionality for broadcast and commercials post-production.
Baselight supports non-linear workflows with file-based images from disk and servers, as well as traditional workflows that source
and conform images from video tape. Baselight video-based workflows have been enhanced with extended support for the
HDCAM-SR™ VTRs. This support enables the following workflow changes.
