1 Beyond Inc (www.1beyond.com), a leading manufacturer of digital video systems for production through to post, today announced that it will unveil the 1 Beyond Wrangler with ASSIMILATE SCRATCH Lab, a new portable ruggedized multi-purpose system with full desktop power.
The combination of the 1 Beyond Wrangler with SCRATCH Lab from ASSIMILATE Inc (www.assimilateinc.com) is unrivaled – the only field-proven, portable on-location dailies turnkey solution available today. It delivers real-time playback and review of media up to 5K resolution, highly advanced metadata and LUT handling, sophisticated audio sync, and extremely fast background rendering, all in a ruggedized portable system that moves on-location with the action and sets up in seconds. And it delivers dailies faster and more efficiently than any other tool at any other price.
“I couldn’t have done Pirates Of The Caribbean without the power and portability of the 1 Beyond Wrangler,” states Jeroen Hendricks, stereographer/DIT, on Disney’s Pirates Of The Caribbean 3D. “The 1 Beyond Wrangler, equipped with two RED Rocket cards and ASSIMILATE SCRATCH, was able to quickly move with the action whether on-board ship, in the jungle, on the beach or on-set.”
The Wrangler with SCRATCH Lab not only creates fast, high-quality daily deliverables, it provides instant on-location portable power to:
• Review, QC and playback full resolution shots in realtime
• Automatically sync audio to timecode or clap, or slip visually to waveform
• Seamlessly create and manage Looks and LUTs
• Render simultaneous deliverables completely in the background – while you continue to work
The 1 Beyond Wrangler, with built-in camera original card readers for RED, ARRI Alexa, Sony, Panasonic, Canon and other cameras, combined with the exclusive 1 Beyond Wrangler Software, provides:
• Automatic ingest from multiple sources and destinations simultaneously
• Duplication and verify – one read and multiple writes
• Automatic asynchronous operation allowing a new hot-swap memory card as soon as one completes
• Options for 1 or 2 x LTO-5 tape drives – also built-in
The power of a full tower is completely self-contained and sets up in less than a minute. The 1 Beyond Wrangler has real desktop power backed by the latest generation Intel E5 CPUs, up to 32 processors, and the latest NVIDIA GPUs. This not only provides the fastest, most efficient workflow, it allows for functions never before possible in a portable on-location system or desktop.
This power is combined with ASSIMILATE SCRATCH Lab built on world-class primary color grading tools that allow artists, DPs and Directors to collaborate in real-time to set looks and create LUTs. SCRATCH Lab can also instantly apply 2D or 3D pre-created LUTs. All this can be viewed in 1 Beyond Wrangler‘s built-in 1920×1200 screen or with any 2D or 3D, single or dual SDI, DVI or HDMI external monitor.
“Visitors to our and our partners’ booths will be able to see how we have managed to completely streamline the entire on-set dailies process,” explains Terry Cullen, 1 Beyond‘s founder and CEO. “These same systems have been selected for their reliability and power on over 30 major film and documentary productions all over the world, including off-the-grid locations like remote India, Africa, Siberia and the South Pole.”
