FilmLight has introduced Remote, which aims to provide users with the facility to integrate a FilmLight control surface, UI monitors, mouse and keyboard with professional monitoring via the internet.
Colour graders can work remotely without requiring additional hardware encoders or decoders, said the company.

Following extensive beta testing, the solution is available to all users as part of Baselight 6.0.
Running HP Anyware or Amazon DCV, Baselight or Daylight provide multiple UI monitors up to 4K to the remote end with a simultaneous SRT video connection (supporting JPEG-XS and H265) enabling streaming to the remote system. The FilmLight desk service supports the Slate, Blackboard Classic or Blackboard 2 control panels.
Martin Tlaskal, head of development at FilmLight, said, “In today’s post production environment, there is an increasing call for remote working, whether you work on dailies, editing, VFX or finishing. But the world of colour correction has its own particular challenges and previous offerings have been limited in terms of the ability to drive both the colour grading control surfaces and the monitoring of high-quality images with low latency. FilmLight Remote addresses this by offering the first complete remote grading solution without sacrificing quality or speed.”
Forming part of the beta test programme, UNIT TV recently added Remote to its workflow set-up. Adam Luckwell, founder and CEO at UNIT commented, “The solution we decided upon for UNIT’s workflow was at the bleeding edge of technology and had not been attempted before. Filmlight’s support was amazing, the depth and breadth of knowledge along with their can-do attitude mirrored our own engineers who worked together with Filmlight to solve initial problems and develop a brilliant fully remote solution that has kept our artists happy and focused on their creative output.”
