Cortex 5.2 adds support for Dolby Atmos in IMF packaging. DRS™Nova 4.2 further automates the process of conducting common restoration tasks.
MTI Film will demonstrate the newest versions of CORTEX, its workflow mastering solution, and DRS™Nova, its industry-leading digital restoration software, at NAB Show New York. MTI Film will be showcasing both products (in tandem with CineSys-Oceana) at Booth N831. NAB Show New York runs October 16-17 at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center.
“The needs of our customers continue to grow as new formats, new workflows and new delivery requirements arise,” said MTI Film Director of Product Development Randy Reck. “Our software teams are continuously refining and reinventing our products to keep pace with these changes and help our customers work faster, better and more efficiently. The latest improvements to CORTEX and DRS™Nova are direct responses to customer feedback and reflect our dedication to maximizing the value of our products.”
Already the industry’s most versatile utility for deliverables, CORTEX v5.2 now includes support for Dolby Atmos™ in IMF packaging. Loudness meters have also been added to the CORTEX QA Tool. v5.2 includes support for Dolby Vision™ Content Mapping v4, updated specs for IMSC, Netflix, Apple, Fox and Sony, and support for the AS-11, ProRes Raw, Blackmagic Raw and DNxHR MOV/MXF OP-1a file formats.

Other recent improvements include Alpha Filter support for a variety of scanners including Arri, Lasergraphics, and Scannity, and GPU acceleration for stabilization, de-warp and de-flicker operations.

Stephen Arnold Music Collaborates With WETA to Create a Memorable and Adaptable Sonic Brand
