1 May 2009

The Media Village is a leading integrator of data-centric, digital post-production solutions to film and video professionals throughout Southeast Asia. It works with its’ customers to help design storage infrastructures and workflows that meets their facility’s business and creative objectives. It represents some of the leading names in post production, including:

Lasergraphics
The Director scanners and the Producer film recorders from Lasergraphics, are key components in a complete file-based workflow solution and are testaments to the quality, performance, and reliability for which Lasergraphics is well known.

The Director generates high quality pin-registered 2K and 4K scans of 35mm and 16mm film at unprecedented speeds and an unrivaled low price, making it the perfect solution for post production and DI work. With the recent introduction of a self-aligning stereo sound-head option, the Director now allows for simultaneous scanning of print film soundtrack and images directly to QuickTime movie files, making it the first scanner that’s also ideal for archive and restoration work.

Coupled with Lasergraphics’ proven and highly regarded Producer line of film recording systems, The Director continues the company’s vision to make motion picture film scanning and recording fast, easy flawless, and affordable.

da Vinci Systems
da Vinci’s Resolve R-series offer unparalleled performance and superior color mastering and finishing toolset. The Resolve couples an industry standard GUI and the new generation Impresario control panels to deliver fast, powerful operation. The R-series establishes the new benchmark in digital intermediate (DI) color grading across feature films, television, and commercials.

With Digital Powerhouse and PowerMastering Extreme, Resolve users now have the fastest systems to handle Red material, with the ability to read RED Raw files directly from shared storage, decode, debayer, grade and record to tape without rendering

Bright Systems
BrightDrive G2 is the first open-architecture, file-based recording system designed specifically to meet the performance needs of the entertainment industry. BrightDrive is interoperable with all leading digital postproduction systems without the need to copy files between workstations. Designed specifically for the high data volumes and speeds required by data-centric workflows, including editorial, VFX, DI, dailies, digital film and all tapeless workflows. BrightDrive delivers real-time media access and playback functionality to all operators across LAN, SAN and video networks in all formats to 4K and beyond. Any mix of IRIX, Linux, Windows, and Mac OSX workstations can connect to BrightDrive via standard Ethernet or fibre channel networks.

Cache-A
Cache-A’s new LTO-4 A-Series data-tape drives provide networked storage systems to professional video customers that are simple to deploy and allow users a way to easily transfer their content to secure, portable, exchangeable LTO tape cartridges.

A-Series drives provide networked storage direct to data tape. This solves a critical need in the Entertainment Industry by providing an economical, archive quality media on which to store file-based content. Every tape cartridge contains a directory of its content making each one a self-contained asset repository that can be shipped around the world and stored for long periods of time. The content can be retrieved regardless of the application or software environment that recorded it. This is important for both portability and longevity since the software and OS environment that recorded a cartridge may not be available across locations or may not persist in time for 10, 20, or even 30 years.

MTI Films
CONTROL DAILIES from MTI Films, facilitates faster than real time transfer from film or 2k DPX files to HD and SD, automatic synchronization of audio, and output to either tape or file based deliverables. CONTROL DAILIES is a concurrent workflow that optimizes your telecine or scanner investment and frees colorists from time consuming clerical duties, allowing them to do what they do best: COLOR.

Whether a project is shot on film, video, or data, CONTROL DAILIES provides a complete workflow that encompasses all facets of the dailies process.

The recently introduced DA Head module for Control Dailies enables the faster-than-real-time power of Control Dailies to facilitate the processing of digitally-acquired dailies from virtually any source. Control Dailies for Digital Acquisition (DA) supports Red One, Panasonic P2, Panavision Genesis, Viper FilmStream and Arri D-21 digital cinema cameras, as well as media in DPX file format.
