Technicolor invests in Baselight X to meet increasing demands for HDR finishing

Technicolor, the world leader in production and post-production services, has extended its colour grading capabilities in Hollywood with FilmLight's Baselight X system. Baselight X is the latest and most powerful implementation of the Baselight colour grading and finishing system.

HDR colour grading services are available at Technicolor's post-production facilities globally, but its Hollywood center obviously represents a major film and television production market. The expansion in Baselight grading in this location reflects the increasing demand from the local industry to deliver an uncompromised finish that still pushes creative boundaries. Baselight X provides exceptional power and performance for HDR projects, along with unrivalled colour space management.

HDR is not the only technology where Technicolor is very active. Over the past few years, the group has made a significant commitment to the growth of several next-generation entertainment formats, such as 120fps stereo 4K, 8K UHD and other custom display formats. The architecture of Baselight X ensures Technicolor can rise to the challenge to work at the maximum resolution through every stage in the process - from the original source material to the final deliverables.

Technicolor's Senior Supervising Colourist, Maxine Gervais, has worked with Baselight for many years. Of the many things that are important to better serve my clients, one is to work directly from raw camera files, she explained. The ability to debayer these files live not only saves time, but it preserves image detail that can be accessed and manipulated during the DI.
