VTR ORDER GRADUATE TELECINE SYSTEM FROM EDIFIS

FOLLOWING ON from the success of their first system, installed earlier this year, VTR have ordered another Graduate Telecine system from one of the leading UK designers Edifis.
Unique among telecine servers, Graduate is equipped with two independent uncompressed video, audio and source time code channels. It allows users to grade to disk in any film reel order, maintaining original discontinuous time code, conform the video and audio clips and, play out to another application in an edit suite all at the same time.
Offering significant performance benefits over traditional solutions, once graded, the clips are instantly available for editing. The extensive array of internal tools means that jobs can be carried out faster than ever.
Mick Vincent, VTR Director of Telecine, said: "The flexibility and applications of the tools within Graduate mean that you can have a much more freeform approach to working, which offers the client more creative freedom.”
Up to 11 hours storage of full uncompressed 10 bit video and audio in one small box allows multiple projects and work-in-progress to be easily stored. The implications go a lot further than just the telecine suite itself. No time wasted waiting for tape layback from telecine or re-digitising for the On-line session. Once graded, the clips are instantly available for editing. (CD)
