Feature film dailies processing system On-Set Dailies 2014 ramps-up performance with the introduction of accelerated CPU and GPU processing of HD/2K/4K video via Nvidia’s latest Quadro K6000, Tesla K20 and GeForce GTX Titan cards, plus support for AJA’s Corvid Ultra with simultaneous HD/4K/UHDTV high frame rate video output.

There is new embedded audio support for Sony F55, Arriraw, Red, QuickTime and MXF footage, rendering of DCPs, IMF AS-02 MXF, and support for High Efficiency Video Coding H.265 video compression.

“Colorfront dailies systems cost-effectively streamline camera-to-post and VFX workflows, and ensure the integrity of colour pipelines and associated metadata,” stated Colorfront managing director Aron Jaszberenyi. “The latest advances in maximising CPU/GPU performance, support for the latest high-end camera and deliverable formats, and significant improvements to the user-experience, will keep Colorfront at the vanguard of the marketplace.”
