    LONDON --

    FilmLight, alongside local partner PSK, will demonstrate how its technology is helping broadcasters, movie producers and creative studios shorten timescales without compromising creativity or quality at the SET Expo 2014 taking place in Sao Paulo, Brazil, August 24-27.

    “We have achieved significant success across the region in recent years and SET is a great platform to demonstrate FilmLight’s cost-effective and highly productive solutions, available at every stage of the workflow,” said Francisco Monje, LATAM sales manager, FilmLight. “Collaborative working allows our customers to be more creative and remain confident that all their decisions will be securely captured and preserved in their final deliverables.”

    FilmLight manages color from set to screen. On display at SET 2014 will be FLIP, the real-time image processor for on-set grading of digital cameras, and Baselight DAILIES. Baselight DAILIES is an exciting new addition to FilmLight’s colour range, designed for mobile post-production on location.

    Visitors will also be able to see Baselight Editions, which takes the color processing engine from full Baselight workstations and implements it as a plugin within the foremost professional editing and VFX packages—including Avid, Final Cut Pro and NUKE, with more planned. The grade can be exchanged and adjusted simultaneously between editorial and effects as well as the colour suite, in a highly efficient and render-free workflow.

    The integrated workflow ends on a full Baselight system for professional finishing. At SET 2014, FilmLight will showcase Baselight ONE, the complete and cost-effective grading and finishing solution that combines powerful fully-featured Baselight software and dedicated high performance hardware.

    Facilities around the world have chosen FilmLight systems to power their end-to-end color pipeline. Most recently Brazil’s largest broadcaster TV GLOBO turned to FilmLight and Baselight to handle 4K Ultra High Definition TV series.




    Supreme Court Allows Multibillion-Dollar Class Action Lawsuit To Proceed Against Meta

    Friday, November 22, 2024

    The Supreme Court is allowing a multibillion-dollar class action investors' lawsuit to proceed against Facebook parent Meta, stemming from the privacy scandal involving the Cambridge Analytica political consulting firm.

    The justices heard arguments in November in Meta's bid to shut down the lawsuit. On Friday, they decided that they were wrong to take up the case in the first place.

    The high court dismissed the company's appeal, leaving in place an appellate ruling allowing the case to go forward.

    Investors allege that Meta did not fully disclose the risks that Facebook users' personal information would be misused by Cambridge Analytica, a firm that supported Donald Trump 's first successful Republican presidential campaign in 2016.

    Inadequacy of the disclosures led to two significant price drops in the price of the company's shares in 2018, after the public learned about the extent of the privacy scandal, the investors say.

    Meta spokesman Andy Stone said the company was disappointed by the court's action. "The plaintiff's claims are baseless and we will continue to defend ourselves as this case is considered by the District Court," Stone said in an emailed statement.

    Meta already has paid a $5.1 billion fine and reached a $725 million privacy settlement with users.

    Cambridge Analytica had ties to Trump political strategist Steve Bannon. It had paid a Facebook app developer for access to the personal information of about 87 million Facebook users. That data was then used to target U.S. voters during the 2016 campaign.

    The lawsuit is one of two high court cases involving class-action lawsuits against tech companies. The justices also are wrestling with whether to shut down a class action against Nvidia.... Read More
