At NAB 2013, MTI Film is announcing an enhanced, FREE Starter Edition of Cortex::Control Dailies, its all-in-one dailies processing solution. Releasing concurrently with the NAB Show, Cortex::Control Dailies Starter Edition, version 1.2, adds the ability to transcode to watermarked QuickTime files so that users can experience Cortex::Control Dailies’ full feature set, including its color and synchronization tools.
Since its initial release last year, Cortex::Control Dailies Starter Edition has proven a useful tool both on-set and in facilities. It allows real-time playback of numerous camera files, editorial files and even DPX and OpenEXR. It can be used to set looks and export stills and color metadata. Users can also define deliverables templates to pass onto the system that’s actually rendering the deliverables.
“The watermarked QuickTime format allowed us to add the missing piece – transcoding,” says MTI Film Vice President of Product Development David McClure. “Now anyone at any stage in the production process, from on the set through final delivery, can create files that can be played back on virtually any computer or tablet device.”
MTI Film is demonstrating Cortex::Control Dailies Starter Edition and other Cortex products at Booth SL15510.
Starter Edition can also be used as a training tool. “Facilities and educational institutions can train users at no cost while enjoying a true Cortex::Control Dailies experience from end to end,” explains Belinda S. Merritt, Director of International Business Development.
Starter Edition includes unrestricted use of the central Cortex::Control Dailies toolset. Those features include tools for media ingest and management, primary color correction and color decision export, automated audio-image synchronization, metadata capture and management, and template-driven background encoding of deliverables.
Users may also request a free two-week evaluation license of the full featured Cortex::Control Dailies Ultimate Edition to test the test the transcoding speed and output quality for deliverables they will be making in the field, such as H.264 for DAX or iPad or DVD.

“Ǝvolution” 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 Ǝvolution, 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? Ǝvolution suggests the answer is yes, unless we decide to open our eyes.
Inspired by the overwhelming number of recent events that threaten human existence, Ǝvolution, possibly the shortest film in this 12th edition of the festival, plays out entirely through the symbolism of circles, cleverly illustrating —in the blink of an eye— the repeating patterns of history, and confronting viewers with the uncomfortable truth that our so-called “progress” 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), Oscar®... Read More
