Digital Vision,
purveyors of motion picture quality via systems for film and
video grading/finishing and image enhancement, will launch
two new products at IBC. A new software-based restoration
tool will be introduced into the company's line of image enhancement
products (joining the DVNR and DVO), and a new tapeless grading/finishing
system designed specifically for broadcast television and
multi-format requirements will round out the company's Nucoda
line. Features, pricing, and product names will all be unveiled
at the show, and both products will be demonstrated on Digital
Vision's stand, 7.731.
Software-based Restoration Tool Automates
Processes for High-volume Remastering
The product of 20 years of development and innovation, Digital
Vision's DVNR and DVO systems have become industry standard
tools for image enhancement and restoration. To address the
specific requirements of the emerging 'volume restoration/re-mastering'
market, the company will introduce a new software-based restoration
tool into its market-leading image enhancement product line.
This first-of-its-kind software package leverages inexpensive
computing power, sophisticated software and a simplified UI
to automatically fix common problems in video and film restoration
quickly and cost-effectively. The product will provide fast,
efficient, and high-quality digital remastering in various
packaged media formats that address pay-per-view and pay-per-download
VOD over IP services offered by providers and content owners.
Open, Flexible Tapeless Grading/Finishing for Broadcast
& Multi-Format Deliverables
Digital Vision will also launch a new product specifically
designed and priced for companies who grade and finish content
for broadcast television, HD DVD, Blu-ray, broadband VOD,
and mobile, within its Nucoda line. The new system will support
an SD or HD video environment, fully data-centric workflows,
and offer extended support and integration for broadcast formats,
servers, and playout and distribution devices. With full support
for MXF, Quicktime, DPX, and Avid DNxHD, and integration with
Avid and DVS Platform servers and storage, the new television-focused
system - like all products in the Nucoda line - will be able
to color grade file-based media natively, in an entirely open
environment. The company will also introduce a new software-based
motion-compensated standards converter as an option to all
the products in the Nucoda line.
"The process of 'finishing' content, whether for first-run
film or television or re-sale is being re-defined by the different
deliverables content creators must produce," said Digital
Vision president and COO Simon Cuff. "The requirements
for a system that facilities use to grade 120 minutes of feature
film footage over six weeks are inherently different from
that of a broadcaster processing 500 hours of footage every
week, or grading programs hours before they air. Likewise,
the close, human intervention required to restore a classic
film requires a different approach than systems that have
to automatically resolve common film and video problems to
prepare multiple seasons of a series for high-resolution re-sale.
The human interface, task management, and feature emphasis
are very different, and these GUI and automation factors are
what we've focused on to help our customers capture emerging
opportunities early, so they can take the lead in new markets
as they develop."
