Seance puts you in direct communication with your Phantom! With this software, you can control your Vision Research Phantom Camera directly from your Macintosh. Séance supports several models of Phantom Devices: the Phantom Flex, Phantom HD/65, and the Phantom v640/641/642. This software is also ideal for the Cinestation, as well. Séance includes a GPU-accelerated live preview that closely matches what is displayed on the HD-SDI output of the camera, and now provides all of the image adjustment controls available on the hardware. Color adjustments can be made on a shot-by-shot basis. You can tweak the settings to give your imagery the look that you want before downloading the footage to your Cine file. Using the same color science that the Phantom Cameras use, the Cine Preview provides a match to what the DP expects to see. This also matches what will be displayed by the Phantom Cine Toolkit, providing consistent color through the post process.
