The Danish film production
company Zentropa has selected a DVS CLIPSTER. The DI workstation
enables RAW workflows in real-time and DCI Mastering in high-speed.
As an existing DVS client, Zentropa founded by director Lars
von Trier, has opted for a DVS CLIPSTER: Aside from RAW workflows
in real-time, the DI workstation realizes DCI and HD Mastering
as well as DPX screening. Zentropa completes the infrastructure
of its own post production with the DVS equipment and establishes
the basis for Digital Cinema.
Zentropa benefits from the DI workstation’s
open interfaces and its perfect integration into the existing
system architecture. Moreover, CLIPSTER considerably
accelerates the post production process: as and extensive
and powerful DI solution, the DVS system complies with the
most stringent requirements of RAW workflows in real-time
and the generation of encoded data packages in high-speed.
Due to its unique hardware platform and
the specially developed hardware accelerator, CLIPSTER
manages to decode and demosaic RAW files in full quality at
4K 12 bit RGB mode in real-time. RAW data (e.g. from RED
or Phantom cameras) can be directly displayed, edited in the
timeline and played out in parallel in 4K.
Furthermore, CLIPSTER creates all necessary DCI steps
from DSM (Digital Source Master) to DCP (Digital Cinema Package)
in a single system, thus preventing time-consuming transfer
processes through the use of many different components.
Lars Dela, Technical Director at Zentropa:
"We are impressed with CLIPSTER’s multifunctionality
and versatility. We carry out all essential steps to the finished
DCP, check the DPX files, edit RAW material in real-time and
apply CLIPSTER for HD Mastering. On Lars von Trier’s
latest project Melancholia RAW data from the Phantom camera
is being processed on DVS’s DI workstation: it is incredibly
fast, reliable and definitely more than a one trick pony."
Ernst-Joerg Oberhoessel, Sales Director
Region Western Europe at DVS: "Zentropa is the largest
film production corporation in Scandinavia and is renowned
for its success, creativity and artistic quality. We have
been partners for many years, now resulting in a CLIPSTER
installation. Our DI workstation paves the way for Digital
Cinema Packages that theaters require for digital projection:
Zentropa can now fulfil this demand for all its films worldwide."
