SGO - MISTIKA
Our main picture suite features Mistika. This system is the ultimate tool for colour grading and finishing any project. Using Mistika gives a grading session the ability to try anything creative, in real time while working with any format.
The Mistika takes NIFCO’s capabilities to another level... whatever delivery format you want to throw at us, NIFCO can deliver.
