Gulf Film, a major film distributor in the Middle East, has chosen CLIPSTER from Rohde & Schwarz DVS GmbH (DVS) to create Digital Cinema Packages (DCPs) in the Middle East.
As CLIPSTER can perform high-speed DCI Mastering processes, Gulf Film can now generate and process DCPs faster and more efficiently. In doing so, all DI steps which are typically spread across multiple products can be created in one system. Its direct preview and test option enables CLIPSTER users to directly view and check DCPs created either on the system itself or on other systems.
The DI workstation also lets staff at Gulf Film edit films online, convert them into various output formats and perform color corrections. At the same time, CLIPSTER handles all resolutions, whether SD, HD, 2K or 4K.
CLIPSTERs fast render pipeline also accelerates Gulf Films complex decoding and encoding steps. The DCI validation tool makes DCI workflows more user-friendly. CLIPSTER features extensive, easy-to-use DCP test functions enabling DCPs not only to be verified to ensure they comply with all DCI standards, but also to see if they can be played back on popular DCI players. Furthermore, the Gulf Film editors can make selective changes to every DCP validation parameter in CLIPSTER to suit their respective test procedures.
Alain Baradhi, Digital Lab Manager at Gulf Film said: For us, CLIPSTER excels thanks to its considerable flexibility and openness and by smoothly integrating into our workflows. We are enthusiastic about the systems speed and reliability and are happy to make another mark in our region by implementing new DVS equipment.
DVS own hardware processing, the creation of the final DCPs that, as a standard, are encoded as JPEG2000 files, is carried out in double real-time speed. The built-in KDM management and spec validation tools ensure that DCPs sent across the country or across the world will provide reliable playback and faithful picture reproduction.
Stefan Albertz, Product Manager at DVS added: We are delighted that we can announce Gulf Film as an extraordinary DVS reference in the Middle East.
