CELCO Introduces FilmOut Pro V 2.0
Film recording software solution for digital intermediate markets
September 20, 2004 --
CELCO (www.celco.com), the leader in digital film recording systems, introduced to the international community their new FilmOut Pro V 2.0 Advanced Digital Film Recording Software. FilmOut Pro V 2.0 is CELCO's new Film Recorder and Image Control Software for its latest generation FURY and Firestorm high performance digital motion picture film recorders.
The new intuitive Graphical User Interface (GUI) controls the film recorder and includes a variety of image processing and viewing tools in a user friendly, easy to understand environment. FilmOut Pro will allow the operator to define aspect ratios and formats, and will provide image cropping, offset, and resizing tools. It will display image histograms by color channel and have selectable image sharpening algorithms and degrain functions. The new software also includes an automated color management tool to give Filmmakers on film what they see in the digital color-timing suite. A unique feature of FilmOut Pro is an interactive A/B image comparison slider that allows the user to view images before and after different image processing tools have been applied. Bundled within the FilmOut Pro software is FinalView, an image viewing tool that displays the final image and its exact size and position on film. This gives the operator a final view of the image on film to verify everything is correct before the image is sent to the recorder.
"We are constantly improving our products and pushing the envelope of digital film recording technology. Our new FilmOut Pro software provides our customers with greater ease of use and power over the film out process" states John Constantine, Director of Marketing. "CELCO's FURY and Firestorm Digital Motion Picture Recorders, coupled with our new FilmOut Pro color management and film recorder control software, are the perfect output solution to address the growing demand for archive to film, full length HD transfers, and digital intermediate markets."
CELCO demonstrated the new FilmOut Pro V2.0 software at IBC 2004.
