ClearView Pivot: Remote 4K HDR Colour Review
An Emmy Award-winning theatrical-grade reviewing platform built for storytellers. Share colour and frame-accurate footage in 4K HDR with 12-bit colour depth and 4:4:4 chroma sampling in real-time with ultra-low latency. This tool gives you the quality of review you would expect in a grading suite or screening room, but remotely.
Keeping clients connected
High-quality streaming
Image quality and colour fidelity are vital for remote colour grading or VFX reviews. ClearView Pivot offers HDR reviews in 4K at full-colour quality over our uncontended private Media Network so nothing gets lost in translation. Services over the open internet all require compression, so they simply cannot measure up.
Hassle-free software setup
Other solutions are hardware products that require a lot of time and effort – for both security teams involved in firewalling and technical assistants checking equipment before every session.
Pivot works immediately every time and as a point-to-multipoint solution you can ‘pivot’ easily from one end point to the next to collaborate with multiple people at the click of a button.
"The compromises when you used to work remotely don’t really exist anymore with technologies like Pivot that replicate very closely what you’d experience if you were office-based”
Elliot Newman
VFX supervisor
Built for Colourists, DI Supervisors, and Finishing Teams

Host remote colour grades with collaborators and clients in real-time
Built with ultra-low latency, ensure directors or DPs never lose a pixel of your picture; ClearView Pivot offers 4K high dynamic range (HDR) with 12-bit colour depth and 4:4:4 chroma sampling for full-colour quality video streaming with ultra-low latency, which is perfect for the colour suite experience while collaborating at a post-production facility.
Bring remote participants together for final approval

The editor can play and pause the content, with every screening room seeing exactly the same frame at the same time.
