We are leading providers of solutions for high definition imaging, and are able to support any of the multiple formats in the new landscape of HD post production where variable resolutions, frame rates and deliverables coexist. To this end, we continue to extend our lead into high definition, film finishing, visual effects, and graphic design.
SUMMARY OF SERVICES
SPIRIT 2K • Our Spirit 2K is the industry standard for high resolution film transfers. Whether it’s commercial post production, feature film mastering, or digital cinema, it delivers outstanding results. With 2K data scanning functionality, it expertly addresses the growing demand for digital intermediate feature productions-supporting SDTV, HDTV, or 2K data from 35mm, 16mm or S16mm film.
DA VINCI 2K • The 2K Plus is a real-time color enhancement system with support for multiple standards and resolutions. With the 2K Plus, colorists are able to access da Vinci’s Power Tiers, Defocus, and Palette toolsets, along with 12 qualifier windows. In addition to improvements in the primary and secondary color correction feature set, the 2K provides colorists with increased flexibility through an enhanced key bus, improved gamma curve adjustment, and dedicated Kilovector key outputs.
QUANTEL IQ • The iQ’s speed, quality and connectivity put it at the heart of our Digital Intermediate facility enhancing the production pipeline with its near real-time rendering and its ability to edit and output all formats in “resolution coexistence”. It also has the ability to work in a server mode, controlled by the Pandora Megadef for final color grading. The system offers real-time versioning, integrated color correction, editing, titling, background data archiving, 2K, HD and SD operation.
AVID SYMPHONY NITRIS & DS NITRIS • These systems facilitate creative editing, conforming and finishing of all types of projects at multiple compressions and High Definition formats. Avid’s Symphony Nitris & DS Nitris deliver real-time performance with two streams of 10-bit HD media for editing, compositing, paint, character generation, special effects, image treatment, and Symphony-style color correction. With the industry’s highest level of support for AAF and OMF compositions, the Symphony Nitris & DS Nitris make conforming a program offlined on a Media Composer, Symphony or Xpress system a fast and accurate process. 24p mastering allows multiversion editing capabilities to generate customized versions, and deliver in any format at the touch of a button.
4:4:4 HD • Quantel iQ and Avid DS Nitris systems are fully 4:4:4 capable, with the advantages of a tape-based RGB workflow for efficient color management in HD without compromising quality.
PANDORA MEGADEF • Coupling the Pandora Pogle controller and its PiXi color processing engine with the Quantel iQ media platform enables us to leverage the full power of each system component in a truly collaborative workflow environment. AAF metadata is shared between the systems, ensuring that all elements keep perfectly in step with each other and each is precisely aware of changes as they occur. The result is an integrated digital color correction and finishing suite that provides real-time, nonlinear processing of 2K imagery and total creative freedom in the post production process. Colorists and editors stay in step with each other interactively at every stage, making and changing color correction and editing decisions at will, and reviewing the results instantaneously at full resolution on-screen.
TERANEX XANTUS • As a High Definition standards conversion system, the Teranex is capable of processing many variables (aspect ratios, removal of 3:2 pull down, field merging, detail enhancement, noise reduction, etc.) as it performs its conversions up, down and in-between all HD standards and frame rates.
