Slated for delivery on 27th July 2010:
Nucoda – The leading grading and finishing Nucoda platform will now have a new pricing structure and two new solutions. The premium flagship Nucoda Film Master solution, as used by leading content creators including Pixar, now has an entry price of $90K. To address the mid-range DI grading and dailies market, Digital Vision will release Nucoda Fuse and an ingest, conform and edit solution called Nucoda Compose.
Phoenix – Digital Vision continues its commitment to the film/image content restoration sector, with the release of a totally new product range. Phoenix Finish is the flagship end-to-end restoration, re-mastering and delivery system, the mid-range solution Phoenix Refine, will provide a complete toolset for advanced image restoration and enhancement, and the entry-level Phoenix Touch will provide automated and manual image clean up and retouch.
As part of the 2010 software release, Digital Vision has included applications to increase the performance of these new products. The first, Turbine, introduces integrated and distributed background rendering for Phoenix and Nucoda solutions allowing rendering of multiple projects and compositions without tying up the client’s workstation. DVO Clarity, the next-generation of noise and grain reduction technology features automatic profiling of the source media for producing stunning images, virtually artifact free that retain original sharpness, whilst the speed and ergonomically enhanced DVO Fix automatically repairs imperfections associated with degraded film and image media.
