The Hungarian FilmLab (Magyar Filmlabor), Hungary's largest provider of film laboratory and post-production services, has purchased MTI Film's flagship dailies processing solution, CORTEX::Control Dailies Ultimate Edition.

The system is capable of processing camera data from all popular digital cinema cameras, including cameras made by Sony, ARRI, Canon and RED, and creating media required for editorial, review and back-up, with or without applied color grading.
