Advanced Digital Services, Inc. (ADS) announced
the launch of the latest generation CLIPSTER DI offering at
its facility, which will add to the diverse array of high-end
post-production services currently offered by the company.
CLIPSTER, DVS' flagship workflow product, is an award-winning
solution that allows the user to complete a variety of DI
(Digital Intermediate) tasks, including capturing, DCI mastering
and the ability to edit uncompressed 4K data.
When previewed to the public at this year's
NAB, ADS' Technical Operations Manager Tom Sehenuk knew that
the system was a perfect fit for their recently-opened Digital
Operations Center, as it had the ability to handle the sophisticated
encoding and transcoding specifications for a major client.
"We've used DVS' systems at ADS for the last five years
for services like restoration, editorial, and graphics,"
said Sehenuk. "Incorporating the latest CLIPSTER now
allows us to produce JPEG2000 workflows in real-time. We're
doing encoding for Universal's archive right now, and they
specifically requested CLIPSTER because it is the only system
certified to handle their JPEG2000 requirements. Adding it
to our Digital Operations Center is the 'icing on the cake',
allowing ADS to provide an even broader range of mastering
and distribution formats in one facility."
In addition, CLIPSTER can support the direct decoding of REDCODE
RAW material in the timeline, and users can completely integrate
RED metadata - with the increasing number of RED camera
users needing HD editing services, ADS can now accommodate
these clients, instead of sending them to another post house.
"We would constantly get calls for RED workflows, and
now we don't have to turn those clients away. Although both
generation CLIPSTER systems will expand our current service
capacity, we are excited to push into RED, JPEG2000 and DCP,"
continued Sehenuk.
Jack Fleming, President of ADS, concurred on the company's
latest technology acquisition noting, "ADS has always
taken great pride in offering significant value to our clients
and the latest generation CLIPSTER is a welcome addition to
our editorial workflow and technical resource base. The new
offering will provide new and existing customers with specific
DI post production tools optimized to reduce workflow complexity,
affording a higher level of creative freedom to produce best-in-class
assets."
