MTI Film Releases Updates of Cortex and DRS NOVA

MTI Film continues to add features and improve the user friendliness of its industry-leading dailies and media processing platform, Cortex. A new release, available this month, includes an Edit Tool that streamlines the production of IMF and AS02 packages and other deliverables. The Edit Tool comes with a new user interface that conforms with popular editing software making it simple to use. It allows complex functions, like IMF packaging, to be executed in an intuitive and organized manner, says MTI Film Director of Development Randy Reck. Users can quickly and easily take care of tasks such as adding head formats and multiple audio and video tracks.

The latest version of Cortex also includes dead pixel correction (which alerts production when a camera sensor has a fault), Dolby Vision support and 4K up-resing-all of which were first announced at NAB 2016. MTI Film is also releasing an update to DRS NOVA, its digital film restoration software. New features include Tracking Offsets, which allows tracking and image stabilization to continue when tracking points travel off screen; and Grain Tool Presets, which allows film grain patterns to be stored and applied during restoration operations.

Improvements have also been made to the Color Breathing Tool, which automatically corrects for color fading or breathing. The new DRS NOVA was recently used in the restoration of the 1928 silent classic The Racket, produced by Howard Hughes. The rarely seen crime drama, an Oscar nominee for Best Picture, is being restored at the behest of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and & Sciences.
