    LONDON --

    At IBC 2014 Digital Vision will unveil a revolutionary automated archive workflow, and return to its roots with new software-based transcoding technology, the new Golden Eye 4 scanner, Thor 4K, and updates to both its grading and restoration platforms.

    Digital Vision has been able to transition its business across both the broadcast and archive worlds due to its heritage and continued development of its technology in motion compensated standards conversion, automation, media management and monitoring.

    The Golden Eye 4 archive scanner, unveiled for the first time in Europe, incorporates many new features and enhancements including universal optics–a single lens, motor driven, multi-axis optical system for precision image sizing, position and focus. Users can scan any film size from 8mm to 70mm without changing the optics.

    In addition Digital Vision will present Bifrost Archive Bridge, a unique scalable solution, suitable for archives of any size, comprising various workflow components that can be utilized either as a complete end-to-end solution or integrated into existing infrastructures depending on individual requirements.

    Digital Vision will also demonstrate the latest 2014 versions of the Nucoda color grading suite incorporating AJA Kona support. With AJA’s interoperability with established editing products, traditional editing suites can now become grading suites without the requirement for additional hardware or investment.

    There are also a range of enhancements to Phoenix, the world’s premier film restoration software, including enhanced Grain, Flicker and Paint tools. Digital Vision will also demonstrate real-time 4K image processing using THOR hardware.

    “Our new products like Loki, Thor and Bifrost offer advanced solutions for our traditional client base while also bringing exciting opportunities to take Digital Vision tools to new markets,” said Kelvin Bolah, managing director, Digital Vision. 




    Jules Feiffer, Pulitzer Prize-Winning Cartoonist and Writer, Dies At 95

    Tuesday, January 21, 2025

    Jules Feiffer, a Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist and writer whose prolific output ranged from a long-running comic strip to plays, screenplays and children's books, died Friday. He was 95 and, true to his seemingly tireless form, published his last book just four months ago.

    Feiffer's wife, writer JZ Holden, said Tuesday that he died of congestive heart failure at their home in Richfield Springs, New York, and was surrounded by friends, the couple's two cats and his recent artwork.

    Feiffer won the United States' most prominent awards in journalism and filmmaking, taking home a 1986 Pulitzer Prize for his cartoons and "Munro," an animated short film he wrote, won a 1961 Academy Award. The Library of Congress held a retrospective of his work in 1996.

    "My goal is to make people think, to make them feel and, along the way, to make them smile if not laugh," Feiffer told the South Florida Sun Sentinel in 1998. "Humor seems to me one of the best ways of espousing ideas. It gets people to listen with their guard down."
