The Tangent Arc Control Surface is designed to improve interactivity when colour grading film and video footage. You can accomplish all the main grading tasks you do in the Lustre user interface using the Tangent Arc Control Surface.

Modules Description

The Tangent Arc is composed of three modules: Function (left), Grading (center), and Navigation (right). For left handed artist, the location of the Function and Navigation modules can be swapped.

Every module has a large display, located on top, showing the current mode and the current page of controls. For advanced customization, the 55 buttons, the 27 knobs, and the 5 trackballs can be redefined with the Tangent Mapper application. See Tangent Mapper section for more details.

Visit http://www.tangentwave.co.uk/products/ for more details.

Navigation module

Use the Navigation module to select the working and viewing modes, and define the keypad's behaviour. Finally, use the transport section to navigate with the trackball and ring.

The Navigation module has five sections:

• Modes (first row of buttons)
• Grading modes and utility functions (second row of buttons): Bypass, Reset, Undo/Redo, Save, Shot Reactor controls and software exit).
• Navigation (third row of buttons, ring and balls and bottom row of buttons)
• Viewing and utility functions (left bank of buttons)
• Keypad (right bank of buttons) for Secondaries, Grade Bins and Numeric Keypad

<BUTTONS>: Cycle through the different pages of functions mapped to the module.

ALT: Enable Alternate mode, either Precise Mode or Turbo Mode, according to your user settings, for all knobs, trackballs and rings. In Alternate mode, the labels of the various controls are followed by Pr (for Precision) or TB (for Turbo).

Grading module

The Grading module is the interface for user input parameters. The trackballs and rings provide an intuitive way of precisely modifying parameters and are especially well suited for grading, among other things.

Moving the trackball from left to right / right to left has the same effect as moving them up and down /down and up.

Turning the ring from left to right increases the value of the assigned parameter, whereas turning the ring from right to left decreases the value.

The values of each parameter assigned to each trackball and ring can be reset by pressing the Reset button above them. Left button resets the Balls while right button resets Rings

<BUTTONS>: Cycle through the different pages of functions mapped to the module.

ALT: Enable either Precise Mode or Turbo Mode, according to your user settings, for all knobs, trackballs and rings.

Function module

The Function module is a knob-based and buttons interface for user input parameters related to the current mode. The values of each parameter assigned to the knobs can be reset by pressing the knob.

<BUTTONS>: Cycle through the different pages of functions mapped to the module.

ALT: Enable either Precise Mode or Turbo Mode, according to your user settings, for all knobs, trackballs and rings.

Navigation module

Modes

The basic Tangent Arc workflow is mode based. This means that you set the appropriate mode for the grading tasks you wish to accomplish and the knob, button and trackball functions are dynamically updated.

Each mode consists of multiple pages of parameters that can be cycled through.

To select a mode, press the appropriate button on the Navigation module, as indicated on the module's screen (first row of buttons).

When a mode is selected, the Grading and Function modules display is updated to show the various controls available in the selected mode. The following modes are supported by the Tangent Arc Control Surface:

Grade Mode (Linear and Logarithmic)

The available functions in this mode correspond to those in the Colour/Grading menu in the application.

By default, the control surface is in Grade Mode (Linear or Logarithmic, according to your project settings).

Curves Mode

The available functions in this mode correspond to those in the Colour/Grading menu in the application.

Keyer Mode

The available functions in this mode correspond to the HLS Keyer / Diamond Keyer functions in the Colour/Secondaries menu in the application.

Geometry Mode

The available functions in this mode correspond to those in the Colour/Secondaries menu in the application.

Reposition Mode

The available functions in this mode correspond to those in the Image/Reposition menu in the application.
