Digital Vision provides Filmlab with revolutionary DI suite

Digital Vision, a leading developer of advanced digital media applications specialising in film and video solutions has announced that Indian film specialist, Filmlab will provide the Indian film community with a cutting-edge Digital Intermediate (DI) environment for movies and commercials.
Filmlab will use its new DI suite, which includes a Nucoda Film Master with DVO Image Processing Software, to grade major Bollywood features for the booming Indian film market as well as commercials for television. The Bollywood community has witnessed a major transition to DI workflows in recent times and by choosing Nucoda Film Master, Filmlab has invested in technology that meets with the industry’s approval.
With DVO option, Digital Vision’s software equivalent of its award-winning DVNR image processing hardware systems, Nucoda Film Master provides the ultimate in noise reduction, grain management and scratch concealment.
“Filmlab has always been a traditional film facility and Digital Vision has been instrumental in supporting and working with our colour timers to teach them DI skills,” commented Sanjay Patel, Filmlab Director. “DoPs have typically worked with our colour timers in the past and we are very keen to preserve that relationship. Working in DI will allow us to really push the boundaries creatively, providing a far more sophisticated and responsive workflow.”
Robert Ekström, President of Digital Vision, concluded: “The DI process means that facilities like Filmlab no longer have to conform to the traditional way of grading. The Bollywood film industry is a global market and Filmlab is pioneering these changes within this booming region. By using Nucoda Film Master, Filmlab is opening up a whole new world of creative opportunities for both the film and commercials sectors.”
