Colorfront To Set New Performance Standards At SMPTE 2014

Colorfront is to set new performance standards and demonstrate a host of features for Ultra High Definition Television (UHDTV) post production, and IMF authoring and DCP digital cinema mastering, during SMPTE 2014, Hollywood, CA, 20-23 October (Booth #311).
The industry-first developments, available in OSD Transkoder 2014, Colorfront's automated, standalone system for high-quality digital file conversion, and its On-Set Dailies and Express Dailies systems – continue to underscore Colorfront's reputation as a leading technology innovator for elite Hollywood productions, blockbuster motion pictures and high-end episodic TV shows.
At SMPTE 2014, Colorfront will show OSD Transkoder 2014 running on cost-effective Supermicro, HP Z840 and new Mac Pro platforms, performing the real-time playback of High Dynamic Range 4K, 60FPS UHD material to Sony’s new, 65‑inch, flagship X950B 4K UHD monitor.
Colorfront OSD Transkoder 2014 features unique, GPU-accelerated, faster-than-real-time capabilities, which make it the ultimate tool for UHDTV and 4K-6K-8K digital cinema applications. These include 240FPS JPEG2000 encode-decode, DCP/DCI mastering, IMF/IMP authoring, packaging, verification and QC. It also supports calibrated HD-SDI and HDMI video output for a wide range of displays.
OSD Transkoder 2014 works with a growing list of codecs, including AVC-Ultra and Apple licensed ProRes XQ in any resolution, as well as DNxHD, XDCAM and DVCPRO. Supported formats also include MXF OP-Atom, OP-1a, QuickTime, plus AS-02 and AS-11 DPP broadcast deliverables standard, allowing for seamless integration into any file-based broadcast workflow. Helping to streamline post production, OSD Transkoder allows the writing of Avid DNxHD MXF media directly to Avid ISIS shared storage, which is then checked into the Avid Interplay database enabling Avid Media Composer users to locate clips in a familiar way.
Also during SMPTE 2014, Colorfront will show the latest versions of its On-Set Dailies and Express Dailies systems. Both feature the very latest ARRIRAW De-Bayer capabilities, delivering the industry’s highest-quality real-time De-Bayering of ARRI ALEXA OpenGate and ARRI ALEXA 65 formats at 4K and beyond.
Additionally, Colorfront has supplemented the renowned look-design toolsets in On-Set Dailies and Express Dailies – which already include Master Look™ library, Camera Color™, and Look Blender™ – with the new Skin Modifier™, enabling the easy handling and adjustment of skin tones and colors, plus a unique set of highlight/shadow control design tools. Both of these features enable creative artists to non-destructively create and control vital aspects of the look on-set, and pass the results into post production and VFX via metadata and 3D LUTs.
