Colorfront, the Academy and Emmy Award-winning developer of high-performance, dailies and transcoding systems for motion pictures, high-end episodic TV and commercials, today broke performance barriers with the announcement of Colorfront Transkoder 2014, the automated, standalone system for high-quality digital file conversion, now featuring ground-breaking real-time 8K and 3D4K capabilities.
This industry-first development underlines Colorfront's reputation as a leading technology innovator, as it previews performance-boosting innovations for Ultra High Definition Television (UHDTV) post production at IBC 2014, Amsterdam, 12-15 Sept. Colorfront will also show the shipping 2014 versions of its On-Set Dailies and Express Dailies systems at IBC.

Colorfront has successfully collaborated with NHK Science & Technology Research Laboratories in Japan, using Colorfront Transkoder 2014 on 4K/60p broadcast programming, originated with Sony F55 and RED cameras, and also at 8K/60p on NHK's Super Hi-Vision/ UHDTV project, with processing and real-time playback of 8K/60p footage from various RAW formats.

Deliverables have also been extended to include AS-11 DPP, Apple licensed ProRes XQ, HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding) H.265 and 10-bit H.264 video compression formats.
Supporting the workflow is Colorfront Engine, a state-of-the-art, automatically managed, wide-gamut, high dynamic range, color pipeline, bringing true plug-and-play simplicity to today's complex multi-source, multi-deliverable production needs.
Digital cameras are heading towards ever-higher resolutions, framerates and dynamic range, and Colorfront continues to expand the boundaries of what is possible by delivering unique tools with extreme performance for UHDTV applications, said Aron Jaszberenyi, managing director of Colorfront. Colorfront remains at the forefront of the marketplace by maximizing the latest advances in CPU/GPU performance, supporting the latest high-end camera and deliverable formats, and delivering significant improvements to the user-experience.
