New IMF mastering toolset

--

At IBC in Amsterdam next month, Rohde & Schwarz DVS GmbH (DVS) will showcase the CLIPSTER DI workstation's new features, including the worlds first end-to-end IMF mastering workflow.

In addition, CLIPSTER will show its strength in all other areas of mastering such as with DCI and AS-02 from SD to 4K in 3D and HFR. It processes all popular RAW digital camera formats in real time up to a resolution of 4K, among others, as well as Sony F55 and F5.

With CLIPSTER, DVS has pioneered in processing 4K data in real time since 2007, and it is also leading in the area of frame rates. The new IMF delivery tool generates versions for multilingual packages in a way that is extremely easy to use. With its end-to-end IMF toolset DVS has established an SMPTE-standardised successor to tape-based workflows, leading operators out of the labyrinth of multi-language versioning.

It goes without saying that CLIPSTER also offers a similar level of ease of use for AS-02 workflows. The DI workstation lets users open, play out and create AS-02 packages as well as insert closed captions and when generating AS-02 packages, CLIPSTER ensures that recorded VANC data (eg. closed captions, AFD and V-chip information) is saved as well.

Once again, CLIPSTER will also be showcasing its extremely high level of mastering adeptness. It handles this task not only very quickly, but also at a very high level of quality for all conceivable versions and resolutions. With its acclaimed and highly regarded digital cinema capabilities, CLIPSTER can generate all compliant DCPs in real time no matter if the material is in 2D, 3D, 4K or HFR. By using DVSs own JPEG2000 encoding hardware 96 frames can be converted per second, meaning CLIPSTER can master cinema films at a speed up to four times faster than real time (3D HFR in real time) in the best picture quality.

Furthermore, from the end of 2013 CLIPSTER will support the cutting-edge Dolby Atmos system. Instead of assigning audio tracks to discrete channels, 64 objects are available which can be freely positioned spatially. With CLIPSTER, these Atmos mixes can be integrated in the DCI mastering process for the DCP.
