About This Guide

This guide describes how to set up the HP Z800 workstation hardware and wiring for an Autodesk®Visual

Effects, Finishing, or Colour Grading application. This includes Autodesk®Lustre®, and the following Visual

Effects and Finishing applications: Autodesk®Inferno®, and Autodesk®Flame®, Autodesk®Flint®, Autodesk®

Smoke®, and Autodesk®Backdraft®Conform.

If you already own an HP Z800 workstation shipped with a previous release of your Visual Effects, Finishing

and Colour Grading application, you do not need to change its configuration. But, you do need to verify

its BIOS settings.

NOTE In most cases, both hardware setup and application installation is done on delivery by an authorized

technician. If this is the case, please keep this guide as a reference, in case you decide to move the workstation,

change a peripheral, replace an adapter card, etc.

Related Documentation

This release has additional documentation to help you install, configure, and use the hardware and software.

At various places in this guide, references are made to other documents. Depending on your hardware and

software configuration and network topology, you may want to have additional documentation on hand

before you begin setting up the hardware:

General Workflow

The following procedure provides the general workflow for connecting, configuring and installing an

Autodesk®Visual Effects, Finishing, or Colour Grading application on a HP Z800 workstation.

To install a Visual Effects, Finishing, and Colour Grading application on a HP Z800 workstation:

1Review the guidelines for working with hardware components. See Hardware Configuration Guidelines

on page 9.

2Connect all peripherals (mouse, keyboard, Wacom®tablet, graphics monitor) to the proper ports, and

connect the workstation to the Autodesk Wire®network. See Connecting Peripherals on page 13.

3Connect the workstation to external storage. See Connecting Storage on page 31.

NOTE If repurposing existing storage, it is highly recommended you back up or archive the media and

projects before connecting it to the new workstation. For more information, see the application help.

4Connect a VTR and a broadcast monitor to the workstation. See Setting Up Video Hardware on page

21.

5Set up the audio hardware. See Setting Up Audio Hardware on page 25

6Install the operating system, as instructed in the application Installation and Configuration Guide.

NOTE The Windows operating system is not supported by Lustre on the HP Z800 workstation.

7Install and license the Visual Effects, Finishing, or Colour Grading application. As above, see the

application Installation and Configuration Guide.

Typical Configuration Overview for Autodesk Lustre

A Lustre system consists of a number of different hardware and software components. This section describes

each of the hardware components in a Lustre installation, and the software associated with each component.

You may or may not have all of the components listed here in your Lustre setup. The type of workgroup,

as well as the feature set you purchase for each of the workstations in that workgroup, determine the

components in your installation.

Lustre Workstations

There are three kinds of Lustre workstations: the Master Station, the HD Station, and the Lustre Station.

Every Lustre installation is built around either a Master Station or an HD Station. The optional Lustre Station

offers a way to improve the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of a pipeline by offloading tasks that do not

require the full feature set of the Master Station or HD Station.

Master Station

The Master Station is designed for GPU-accelerated sessions where the colorist works together with the

cinematographer. It includes an extensive creative toolset for elaborate visual design and grading, using up

to 4K resolution and 16-bit files and for completing tasks like dust busting, conforming, rotoscoping, and

capture/playout. It also includes SD and HD I/O, dual link and HSDL video formats, and the film workflow

features, which consist of infrared channel dust removal and support for all standard input and output

resolutions and bit-depths.

The Master Station can support up to three panels of the Autodesk Control Surface and, with an additional

license, a Slave Renderer.

HD Station

The HD Station is a cost-effective GPU workstation for conforming, preparing, grading, and mastering

short-form and long-form HDTV projects, as well as HD film projects, and mastering to different formats.

It does not include the film workflow features. File input is limited to 10-bit 2K resolution, and file output

is limited to SD and 10-bit HD resolution.

The HD Station can support up to three panels of the Autodesk Control Surface and, with an additional

license, a Slave Renderer. Dual link and HSDL video formats are available with the purchase of a separate

video I/O license.

Lustre Station

Tasks that do not require the direct intervention or supervision of the colorist can be efficiently handled by

a Lustre Station. Multiple Lustre Stations can work in parallel to increase throughput and can be used for

tasks such as dust-busting, preparatory work, fine-tuning creative sessions, conforming data from EDLs,

updating editorial changes, and mastering to different formats using the real-time deliverables function.

The Lustre Station includes the film workflow features, and the ability to create geometries and masks.

Primary colour grading on the Lustre Station requires a separate license. The following features also require

an additional license: SD and HD I/O, dual link and HSDL video formats.

The Lustre Station does not support the Slave Renderer.

Other Components

You can expand the features of your Lustre system and improve the efficiency of your workflow by adding

any of the following components.
