Introduction
1.1 Welcome
Comprised of a control panel (CGP 500) and a companion touchscreen application (CGA), Grass
Valley’s Creative Grading bundles multiple camera operations into an intuitive and versatile user
interface. Camera shaders can now easily and quickly manage adjustments, such as transitions
from indoor to outdoor lighting. Shaders can seamlessly manipulate images thanks to the tight
connection between panel and control and the dynamic adaptation to any format (HDR, WCG,
4K UHD, etc.) in real-time.
