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.

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.

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.
