Press Release For Immediate Release
For Immediate Release From Pro8mm                                                            May 28, 2010
 
            Pro8mm Now Offers
            New 444 Workflows

 
 
Pro8mm, the leading innovators for the use and application of Super 8 film for over 35 years adds two new popular Native 444 workflows to the list of ways Small Format Film can be used in High Definition and 35mm Film applications.
 
We now have 444 RGB 10 bit and the new 4444 Pro Res files.  Original film in all small gauge film formats Super 8, 8mm, Max8, 16mm and Super 16) can be scanned to digital using our 4K Millennium II  Scanner and encoded directly to our new 8 Terabyte San System.   We are presently offering native HD scanning at 1920 X 1080.
 
The new workflows are supported with our 8 terabyte high-speed server.  This new system allows for direct encoding in 444 from the scanner.   A client can walk out of a telecine session with the files in hand ready for editing. The San System will also support the playback of various data file formats to tape for clients who need to migrate back from file to tape.
 
We have already completed projects with DPX workflows using client-supplied systems for encoding in 422 DPX.   By having our own San System, we can offer service for very small jobs that require high-end results. Now any project can justify the cost of the use of small gauge film in very high quality. Last year we did some interesting projects like the 35mm theatrical release "My Sisters Keeper" which used 10 bit uncompressed workflows to take Super 8 film into a 35mm release.

The best part of our new system is due to the increased efficiency, we will be lowering the prices of certain workflows and eliminating our docking charges.
