For the past 25 years,
DVS has equipped the movie industry with cutting-edge German
engineered technology.
Today, DVS cultivates the same “Passion
for Perfection” philosophy it established on its first
day, and continues to deliver powerful solutions in the fields
of post production and broadcast.
In February of 1985, three inventive research associates at
the University of Hanover’s Institute of Theoretical
Communications Engineering formed a business, laying the foundation
for one of the world’s leading manufacturers of hardware
and software for the post production and broadcast markets.
For 25 years DVS has developed and produced high-performance
systems for digital editing of video material – and has
played a vital role in Hollywood’s film studios.
DVS CEOs Dr. Hans-Ulrich Weidenbruch, Dr. Peter Spoer, and
Dr. Siegfried Beyer recognized early the importance of digital
video technology and focused initially on creating systems
for research and development. In 1986, after only one year
in business, DVS unveiled the world’s first semiconductor
storage for image sequences in HDTV and achieved its first
technological milestone.
In 1994, DVS began to offer studio products for video graphics,
animation, broadcast, and post production facilities, adding
filmmakers to its target market. With the release of the world’s
first HDTV disk recorder in 1997, DVS broke through another
technological barrier, highlighting its development team’s
pioneering strength. Shortly thereafter, DVS products were
the first in the world to enable the processing of uncompressed
4K data, constituting yet another major industry breakthrough.
DVS, headquartered in Hanover, Germany, established DVS Inc.
in Burbank, California as a subsidiary in 1997 to offer the
highest level of consulting, service, and support to its growing
client base in the Hollywood community.
2003 brought the birth of CLIPSTER, the real-time editing
system and company flagship, which helped catapult DVS into
international success. Last year DVS was honored with the
Hollywood Post Alliance’s prestigious Engineering Excellence
Award for CLIPSTER’s continued advancements. Today, CLIPSTER
is used predominantly in the areas of 3D and digital cinema
and continues to ensure the highest data rates and perfect
images.
DVS CEO Hans-Ulrich Weidenbruch reflects on the company history:
“DVS has established itself as a constant in the post
production industry; today we celebrate 25 years of innovation.
We believe that the marriage of high performance hardware
and advanced software creates the strongest, most reliable
solutions, and this ideal has set us apart from others in
our field. As the industry’s needs evolve, so do our
solutions, enabling our clients to use tomorrow’s technology
today.”
DVS’s product portfolio is vast and includes an array
of advanced turnkey video solutions, storage solutions and
video boards. Its systems are used all over the world in film
studios, post houses, museums, theme parks, and concert venues.
After two and half decades, the three chief executives are
just as inventive; along with their team in Hanover and in
Burbank, they continue to meet the challenges facing the digital
video industry. VENICE is the newest addition to the DVS product
family: Launched in 2009, the video server introduces a product
line especially suited for the broadcast market.
