Digital Magic looks to DVS’ Clipster for processing Shanghai Expo footages
12 May 2010
Hanover, Germany - DI specialist Digital Magic recently announced it expanded its 4K DI pipeline by integrating a second DVS Clipster into their workflow. Digital Magic is implementing Clipster as a DCI mastering station for processing footage in real-time at the Shanghai Expo for the Hong Kong Pavilion, China Theme Pavillion and Oil Industry Pavilion.
Essential to this workflow is Clipster’s capability to to ingest and play-out more than 100 graphic formats. In addition to DPX, Cineon, TGA and TIFF, Clipster also handles formats such as JPEG2000, QuickTime, Windows Media, MXF, MPEG 1/2, Panasonic DVCPRO, AVC-Intra, Sony XDCAM and Avid DNxHD.
“With Clipster we have achieved a substantial extension to our product range and service offerings, a high-speed workflow and increased security. We needed the unit in order to be well prepared for our assignment at this world 2010 exhibition in Shanghai and are proud to deliver high-quality material for impressive large-screen projections,” said Percy Fung, production director at Digital Magic, Hong Kong.
Digital Magic, which is responsible for footage for the three pavilions, will benefit from Clipster’s ability to playback 4K material in real-time and handle dual 4K material for the Oil Industry Pavilion’s 4D theatres, with their 24M x 7M screens. Clipster’s digital acquisition package lets Digital Magic combine several RAW data on a single timeline. The DVS DI workstation then decodes, demosaics and supports all formats in real-time. For the Shanghai Expo workflow, Clipster ingests 4K RED material and processes it with its extensive feature set including conforming, editing, color correction, and versioning in real-time - working with various display systems.
Eric Augereau, sales director region Asia Pacific at DVS said, “It is a great pleasure for DVS to be part of the Shanghai Expo. With an additional Clipster, Digital Magic has again opted for a future-proof solution that will assist them in realising this and other exciting projects at lightning speed.”
