PostWorks buy Teranex Star-up converter for documentary

PostWorks New York have purchased Teranex’s Star-up up-converter with noise reduction to provide a real-time solution to finish projects in 24p, the new digital format for the post-production arena.
Star-up’s first project at PostWorks, the documentary 'A Decade Under The Influence', is a complex retrospective of original films that changed Hollywood forever and individual interviews with the luminaries that made them such as Francis Ford Coppola, Clint Eastwood and Dennis Hopper, recorded in 24p. Star-up has been charged with the task of up-converting and noise reducing source material to produce a 1080p24 Master for distribution to diverse outlets. The film is scheduled for release in September to coincide with the New York Film Festival.
“Teranex’s Star-up enables us to convert all the sources, including heavily compressed and noisy DVDs, to 24p. We then have the flexibility to finish the Master in 1080p24 and easily create varied versions without colour shift issues or degradation of picture quality,” said Billy Baldwin, Chief Operating Officer at PostWorks.
According to Mr Baldwin, PostWorks already has plans to utilize Star-up to convert Standard Definition material in another documentary to 1080p24.
Star-up is a powerful, flexible and upgradeable up-converter with high-performance noise reduction that offers variable aspect ratio conversion. Star-up integrates PixelMotion de-interlacing, colourspace conversion for correct image colour during up-conversion, and image resizing capabilities for the highest possible quality up-conversion. The software-based application runs on a single Teranex video computer and supports future formats and features as they emerge with a simple software upgrade.
Teranex is a leading provider of infrastructure solutions for digital image processing. The company has developed a leading digital video-processing platform coupling advanced software development and semiconductor technology to provide superior products, including format conversion and advanced noise reduction solutions for the broadcast, video and film industries. Teranex operates from headquarters in Orlando, and maintains offices in Los Angeles, New York, Philadelphia, Denver and London.
