DVS has found success with its DCI Mastering capabilities with Clipster : The DI workstation is equipped with a robust feature set, including 3D subtitling and extended support of RAW formats.
In addition to DPX, Cineon, TGA and TIFF, the sophisticated DI workstation supports more than 100 other graphic formats for project use. CLIPSTER also handles formats such as JPEG2000, QuickTime, Windows Media, MXF, MPEG 1/2, Panasonic DVCPRO, AVC-Intra, Sony XDCAMand Avid DNxHD.
The workstation lets users combine RAW data from RED, ARRI D-20 and D-21 and Phantom cameras on a single timeline and decodes, demosaics and supports all formats in real-time. It supports material originating from Silicon Imagings SI-2K camera. All of Clipsters real-time effects can be used up to 4K, also for RAW deliverables. While generating digital deliverables in high-speed, the DI workstation conforms RAW files and provides sophisticated burn-in features and many deliverable formats.
Clipster supports mezzanine formats in JPEG2000 RGB 500 Mbit, such as IMF, when generating multimedia deliverables for devices like IPTV, DVD, Blu-ray, mobile phones, web applications or game consoles. As a file-based library, the mezzanine format produces a digital master from which multiple output formats can be created. It transcodes the required output version from the IMF.
Good for post-production
Post production houses will benefit from clipsters latest DCI capabilities: In addition to creating 3D Digital Cinema Packages in real-time, the DI workstation now provides 4K hardware accelerated DCI Mastering and 3D subtitling. While processing 3D DCI projects, CLIPSTER merges left eye and right eye image data and creates a stereoscopic video track in the timeline which can be edited as regular video material. A full set of real-time stereoscopic workflows enables users to effortlessly handle 3D material.
Bernhard Reitz, Head of Product Management at DVS said: "Clipster is designed to fit into any DI environment and easily meets the demands of future-proof workflows. Aside from pioneering new mezzanine distribution formats as IMF, DVS is strongly positioned in the 3D arena: Our clients will considerably profit from the integration of 3D subtitling."
