"We do a significant amount of 2K digital intermediates, but with 4:4:4 HD-RGB support and expanded memory in version 8.0 of Avid DS Nitris, we have an attractive alternative to 2K that is a good fit for many projects. We can now input HD-RGB directly to Avid DS Nitris from our film scanner. PostWorks has always been a big fan of Avid DS Nitris and this release takes the system to the next level. By the end of the year, we plan to add three additional DI pipelines built around the expanded capabilities of Avid DS Nitris." Matt Feury, senior product marketing manager at Avid added, "Our television and film finishing customers are an extremely dedicated user base who swear by the Avid DS Nitris toolset and its ability to help them work faster and more creatively on the hi-res, bandwidth-intensive projects they face every day. More importantly, they have been anticipating the arrival of advanced workflow features in the system - and Avid DS Nitris 8.0 delivers. By adding HD-RGB support, we've significantly advanced the system's capabilities to support the unique finishing needs of an online community that continues to blaze new paths in HD, 2K and even 4K post production workflows. With a powerful feature set for demanding HD and DI projects - we believe that Avid DS Nitris will have a huge impact across the primetime television and digital film finishing markets we serve." published 3 years agoread more
