Itfc Launches Blu-ray Authoring Services

he leading London-based video services provider, Itfc, has expanded its DVD offering with the launch of its new Blu-ray authoring service.
The facility, which provides a full range of DVD services, is currently working on its first Blu-ray project - Martha Agerich playing Schumann's Piano Concerto, Symphony No 4, conducted by Riccardo Chailly with the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra for EuroArts, one of the world's premiére Classical Music content owners. itfc are Euroarts' exclusive authoring house creating around 60 DVD titles per year with an additional 20 Bluray projects in the pipeline.
With over eight years' experience in designing and authoring DVDs, itfc has worked on over 600 projects ranging from multi-angle, multi-language, Dolby Digital and DTS feature films, countless TV series and music releases to corporate and simple 'put in and play' promotional DVDs.
Ian Beushaw, Head of Digital Media at itfc, said: "With technology continually evolving, it's vital we keep up. Our clients were keen for us to offer Blu-ray services and this helped with our decision to invest in high-end Sonic encoders and Scenarist authoring workstations.
"Once the battle for the high definition format had ended, it was the perfect opportunity to expand the services we already offered."
In preparation, itfc upgraded its DVD QC department with different Blu-ray players - from popular entry level models and PS3 consoles to high-end players to help ensure compatibility. itfc's past DVD project work includes the worldwide release of Yimou Zhang's House of Flying Daggers in nine separate languages, The Actors, Football Factory, Strictly Come Dancing, Grand Designs, Time Team and various National Geographic titles. The facility also authored The Ashes series, which afforded the team a No. 1 chart hit overnight.
