In response to the Covid-19 outbreak and the mandate from the city of LA to shelter in place Instinctual has deployed the HP RGS solution combined with a DIY color streaming solution to allow Editors, Nuke and Flame artists, and Lustre artists to control workstations located in our secure office from each individuals home.
