DFT digitization solutions coupled with DVS SpycerBox storage enhances workflows for post production and archive markets
DVS Digital Video Systems AG and <a href="http://www.dft-film.com.>DFT Digital Film Technology GmbH have teamed up as technology partners to aid post production and media archive facilities in enhancing and speeding up their workflows. The partnership includes DFT’s certification of the DVS SpycerBox for use with its film scanning, telecine, and post production software solutions. DFT and its developers of the Spirit 4K/2K Film Scanner and LUTher Color Space Converter were recently honored by the 2010 Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences® with six Scientific and Technical Achievement Awards for their contributions to the industry.
Clients working with <a href="http://www.dft-film.com.scanners/scanity.php”>SCANITY, Spirit, BONES Dailies or BONES PlayoutMaster in combination with the SpycerBox gain significant flexibility: The footage is scanned at maximum speed with extraordinary quality and is immediately available for the digital workflow. Connected via Fibre Channel, the SpycerBox reliably stores the high-quality film data. The DVS storage solution can be used as SAN or NAS by all workstations โ an essential requirement for the parallel processing of various tasks that the DFT products are specifically designed for.
Post production facilities benefit from the DFT scanners’ and software systems’ speed and performance as well as the DVS SpycerBox, that is directly accessible by several workstations. With its numerous connection options, SpycerBox easily integrates into existing IT infrastructures. In archive environments, too, the combination of DVS and DFT technology proves the ideal match: The DFT <a href="http://www.dft-film.com.scanners/scanity.php”>SCANITY is optimally suited for sensitive archive material thanks to its sprocket- and pinless transport, and the DVS SpycerBox guarantees highest performance rates.
Spycer®, DVS’s integrated data management software, enables users to optimize and accelerate their workflows with a unique toolset that includes browse, preview and metadata edit functions, as well as features like high-speed copying. Spycer’s stand-alone defragmenter for image sequences bolsters the SAN storage for continuous high performance.
Stefan Kramper, Managing Director of DFT: “We are delighted to partner with DVS to ensure that our customers have optimum solutions to complete their project cost-effectively, and in a timely manner. We have rigorously tested our hardware and software with the DVS SpycerBox storage solution, and feel confident that our customers will experience performance increases in their various post production and archive workflows.”
Henner Steinwede, DVS Product Manager: “Our joint solution follows our clients’ specific requirements. In addition to the world’s fastest film scanner, they now have immediate access to our high-performance storage solution and profit from an individual workflow design.”

“ฦvolution” Comes Full Circle At The Chelsea Film Festival
The Chelsea Film Festival, running from October 16th through October 20th, 2024, at Regal Cinemas here in Union Square, is set to host the East Coast premiere of ฦvolution, a thought-provoking experimental micro-short film that proves big ideas can come in small packages and in perfect circles.
In just 1 minute 16 seconds, this cinematic gem by Award-Winning Director Romina Schwedler, with original music by Argentine Composer Ignacio Montoya Carlotto, explores a cycle as old as time: life leads to progress, progress leads to destruction, and destruction, well, leads back to life. But is this vicious circle unbreakable? ฦvolutionย suggests the answer is yes, unless we decide to open our eyes.
Inspired by the overwhelming number of recent events that threaten human existence,ย ฦvolution, possibly the shortest film in this 12th edition of the festival, plays out entirely through the symbolism of circles, cleverly illustrating โin the blink of an eyeโ the repeating patterns of history, and confronting viewers with the uncomfortable truth that our so-called โprogressโ may, in fact, be guiding us to our own ruin.Premiering at the Regal 14 Union Square, New York City, on October 18, 2024, at 11 a.m., Romina Schwedler's micro-short, featuring Leah Young with cinematography by Alan J. Carmona, will be sure to spark conversations longer than the film itself! Forcing viewers to reconsider the true meaning of evolution, not just as a biological process, but as a reflection of our collective journey as humans.
With a string of festival appearances across the globe, including CineGlobe at CERN (Switzerland/France), Oscarยฎ... Read More
