Digital Vision, the premier supplier of picture enhancement systems for film and television post-production, announced today that all its software systems will now support footage captured with RED One cameras. With the release of RED’s SDK, users of Digital Vision’s Film Master will be able to grade native REDCODE RAW™ files, improving the workflows of feature film, broadcast programs and commercials shot on the RED One camera.
The Digital Vision announcement for Film Master and RED presents a critical advantage in the RED post-production workflow. Film Master users will benefit from Digital Vision’s floating point, high dynamic range processing as well as Film Master’s DVO tools that can enhance definition and detail as part of the grading and finishing. Digital Vision has integrated REDCODE RAW™ decoding directly into all its software products so it can work natively with R3D files. There is no import or transcode stage and users will have full access to the floating point 4k data at all times. Key to the implementation is full support for RED metadata to provide a seamless transition from dailies to conform and final grading.
Simon Cuff, President and COO, Digital Vision adds; “Digital Vision has always been committed to embracing the latest advances and with this announcement, we’re again putting our customers ahead of the creative curve. We are offering an advanced workflow for RED, which has proven to be one of the most in-demand acquisition tools and one that will continue to be of great interest to the creative community. We have taken RED productions one step further and fine tuned our DVO tools to improve post production workflows even more. More than sixty features have been shot using the RED camera with a number graded on Film Master. This integration helps us play a major role in the revolution.”
