Motionlink starts DCI with DVS CLIPSTER

Motionlink,
a traditional Australian authoring house in Sydney, diversifies
into the DCI market with CLIPSTER. DVS’s premium DI workstation
dramatically improves Motionlink’s workflow.
When the Australian company Motionlink expanded
into the business of distributing Digital Cinema Packages
(DCPs) for cinema in 2010, they were faced with the challenges
of DCP packaging and DCPs workflows – specifically speed
and performance.
The DCI (Digital Cinema Initiative) establishes exacting specifications
for digital cinema that ensure a uniform and high level of
technical performance, reliability and quality control. Motionlink,
being a smaller facility and mindful of both the expenditure
and the complexity DCI workflows, realized there was no margin
for error or downtime. The DVS CLIPSTER met these requirements
easily and provided the best and most efficient DCI workflow
for Motionlink.
In January 2010, Motionlink installed the DVS CLIPSTER supplied
by Sydney-based post production and digital media specialist
Digistor. CLIPSTER can perform all the steps required for
the production of Digital Cinema Packages for distribution
to cinemas for digital projection – steps that would
otherwise need to be distributed over several products. Motionlink
can now create DCPs as a new revenue stream and service to
their clients.
When they integrated CLIPSTER into their pipeline, Motionlink
benefitted immensely from the DI workstation’s DCI wizard
that guides the user through all DCI Mastering steps. They
also achieved an extension to their product range and service
offerings, a high-speed workflow and increased security. Well
supported by DVS’s DI workstation, Motionlink is now
able to create DCPs at lightning speed, QC the whole process
reliably and expand into a brand new area for the business.
Grant Salinger, MD at Motionlink: “When DVS demonstrated
their DCP packaging, it became crystal clear to us that this
intelligent DCI workflow could not be matched by any other
competitive solution. We’re still ecstatic that within
one hour of their delivery, the DVS unit was underway producing
DCPs for the Wiggles cinema tour.”
CLIPSTER, the DVS flagship, consists of a robust feature set
including conforming, editing, color correction, and versioning
in resolutions up to uncompressed 4K in real-time. All necessary
DCI steps from DSM (Digital Source Master) to DCP (Digital
Cinema Package) can be created in a single system thus preventing
time-consuming transfer processes through the use of many
different components.
Since the DSM and JPEG2000 material can be played back with
audio in real time, the entire process is very transparent
and time-saving. The possibility to view the finished DCP
directly in CLIPSTER® helps Motionlink’s editors
control its quality fast and easy.
Dan Germain, WW Business Development and Pre Sales at DVS:
“We’re thrilled that Motionlink has opted for a
brand new line of business with our company flagship CLIPSTER®.
It is brilliant that another cutting-edge DCI workflow is
now up and running on the fifth continent and we’re proud
to support such an important Australian client.”
