Thomson Expands Grass Valley Digital Cinematography and Post-Production Lines (5/5/2005)

The Grass Valley Viper FilmStream(TM) Digital Cinematography Camera remains the only choice for uncompromised digital capture with the quality that top-flight Hollywood directors demand. NAB 2005 sees the first demonstrations of a vital companion product for this camera, the Venom(TM) FlashPak solid-state recorder. The Venom recorder mounts directly to the Viper camera, is powered by it, and offers a full-resolution recording capacity of 10 minutes, which compares favorably with the capture time of a 35mm film magazine.

Grass Valley is also introducing at NAB 2005 the Spirit 2K DataCine(R) which enables movie makers to scan their films to create a single digital file for multiple post-production processes. The Spirit 2K DataCine leverages the design of the high-end Spirit 4K system to provide a 2K image-capture capability that is in line with many sectors of the post-production industry. As demand for higher resolutions grows, users can upgrade a Spirit 2K DataCine to a Spirit 4K system.
