Colorfront expanded its support of on-set UHD and HDR workflow through the just-announced Express Dailies 2016.

Express Dailies 2016, which debuted over the weekend at Cine Gear Expo in Hollywood, uses the ACES-compliant Colorfront Engine, now in a 64-bit version running on the Mac Pro, to manage on-set look creation with support for simultaneous SDR and HDR deliverables. At Cine Gear, a demo system drove OLED monitors from Sony and LG via AJA Io 4K Thunderbolt 2 output.

The new version also brings Express Dailies up to date with the latest camera formats: Panavision Millennium DXL 8K raw, Sony XOCN ST/LT raw, ARRI Alexa 65 raw and Alexa Mini raw MXF, Panasonic VariCam Vraw, Canon Cinema Gamut and Log2, Red Weapon 8K and Blackmagic lossless-JPG CinemaDNG.

Rec. 709 and Rec. 2020/P3 vectorscopes are included for analysis, and new grain and vignette filters have been added to provide access to more looks on set. Audio has been bolstered with embedded audio support as well as new mixdown tools and level metering. And CopyCentral has been tweaked for higher-speed ingest and upload of original camera footage and metadata to cloud servers or LTO archives. 

Express Dailies launched in 2012 and has been used on Amazon's The Man in the High Castle, USA Network's Mr. Robot, Netflix's Narcos, and HBO's Silicon Valley, Colorfront said.
