DVS Press Release: ARRI certifies DVS CLIPSTER

25 Apr 2012

Following the successful integration of the ALEXA ARRIRAW format into CLIPSTER^®, ARRI certified the DI workstation from DVS. Users benefit from optimized workflows in post production.

With the support of the ALEXA ARRIRAW format, DVS not only expands CLIPSTER’s portfolio of supported file formats but also offers additional flexibility. Thanks to its unique hardware platform and its specially developed hardware accelerator, CLIPSTER^® enables the real-time debayering of ALEXA RAW material in high quality. The RAW content can be directly displayed and edited in the timeline and played out as well. CLIPSTER^® creates a single timeline from the RAW material and carries out decoding and demosaicing in real time up to 4K. CLIPSTER’s Conforming Tool easily manages and conforms all data. The fast data transfer between the ARRI ALEXA and the DI workstation results in significant time savings for editors and colorists.

Henning Raedlein, Head of Digital Workflow Solutions at ARRI: “With DVS we have found a very reliable and innovative partner – for many years now. Thanks to this close cooperation, the technical realization worked at first go, which showed again when integrating the ARRIRAW support in CLIPSTER^®.“

Stefan Albertz, Product Manager at DVS: “The certified ARRIRAW integration helps our customers realize even more efficient DI workflows with ARRIRAW content at an unprecedented level. Our joint solution considers the individual needs and requirements of post production workflows and ensures sustainable performance in the DI process – without accepting any compromises at the expense of quality.“
