Since early May, the DI workstation CLIPSTER® is enhancing the workflow at Park Road Post Production. The DVS flagship handles DCI mastering in real time and enables the generation of secure data packages. This allows Park Road to send sensitive film material securely and easily to its international customers.

Park Road is a renowned company that was involved in successful Hollywood productions such as Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings trilogy, Last Samurai, and King Kong. The post house is intensifying its cooperation with international film studios by offering highly professional local processing of film material recorded in New Zealand. Park Road is able to realize the required secure data transfer between the post house and its international customers only because DVS's CLIPSTER® DI workstation is able to generate DCI-specified DCPs (Digital Cinema Packages).

DCI mastering with CLIPSTER® thus provides Park Road with the ideal prerequisites for a secure data transfer. Park Road is using the DVS workstation to generate an encrypted DCP, as well as an extra KDM (Key Delivery Message) that allows the recipient to read the digital film data. The KDM can only be read by the certified recipient, to whom it grants access to the digital film created by Park Road. Thanks to CLIPSTER®, Park Road's customers may benefit from the extremely secure handling of their sensitive film data.

Eric Augereau, DVS Sales Director for Asia-Pacific: "With Park Road we are happy to support yet another internationally renowned post house with our products. High-speed DCI mastering with CLIPSTER® enables Park Road to create secure, DCI-compliant data packages for its customers."

Ian Bidgood, Technical Director at Park Road: „ With relation to DCI mastering, we were looking for a system that was capable of editing the timeline of the composition playlist with ease, we found that CLIPSTER® was able to perform this task along with more than was expected with regards to DCI mastering. After receiving CLIPSTER® our operators were performing their first job within 24 hours. We found that the GUI interface is very intuitive, and along with the operation of the system - made it all come together with ease. Its multiple types of video inputs and outputs, along with Spycer® software for DPX files has helped to streamline our workflows within our DI department.”
