January 26, 2010 (London, UK) Digital Vision is today announcing its partnership with CineForm as a key element of its forthcoming Nucoda 2009.1 release. The new software, which will be unveiled at next month’s Broadcast Video Expo show in London, will include native support for the CineForm RAW format used by Silicon Imaging’s highly-acclaimed SI-2k camera.  

“Following a popular industry trend and feedback from our customers, we have introduced native support for SI-2K material. This is a highly attractive proposition for film makers who were impressed by the success of the camera’s use on Oscar winning movie Slumdog Millionaire”, explains Bruno Munger, Digital Vision Product Manager. He adds, “Digital Vision is one hundred per cent committed to its customers and as such we are supporting one of the industry’s most popular digital camera formats to enable customers to provide clients with the choice, flexibility and quality that they expect.”

“CineForm RAW has earned the reputation in the industry as the compressed raw format of choice for pristine image quality,” added David Taylor, CEO and co-founder of CineForm. “Extending CineForm RAW to the Digital Vision workflow is a natural fit that will result in significant value-add for Digital Vision’s customers. Our two companies share the same commitment of extremely high image quality throughout the workflow, from camera to post production to finished product.”
