…CELCO,
Rancho Cucamonga
,
CA
, the leader in digital film recording systems, today announced the newest
digital film recorder in its product line, the FURY 4K.
The new FURY 4K, CELCO’s latest advance in digital film
recording technology, will be their fastest, highest resolution recorder
ever developed.The system
will have a dramatic improvement in speed for full range, 10-bit log, 4K
imagery onto Kodak 2242 color intermediate negative stock. In
addition, the FURY 4K will utilize CELCO’s newly developed
electro-magnetic beam control system to produce significantly sharper 4K
images.It will out-perform
any other recorder made with its high speed and resolution onto both 35mm
and large format 65mm film.The
system will also be capable of outputting to virtually any type of film
stock, including color, and black & white intermediate and camera
negative stocks.The FURY 4K
will be driven by CELCO’s newly developed Linux based host operating
system and will be included as part of the film recorder system price.
The
complete system will be delivered with
Celco’s FilmOut Pro intuitive Graphical User Interface (GUI) software
which controls the film recorder and includes a variety of image
processing and viewing tools in a user friendly, easy to understand
environment. FilmOut Pro
allows the operator to define aspect ratios and formats, and provides
image cropping, offset, and resizing tools. It
has selectable image sharpening algorithms and degrain functions. FilmOut
Pro 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.
Marketing Director John Constantine states, “Never before
has a film recorder been capable of achieving images of the highest
quality at such an incredible speed.This
changes the rules for imaging facilities, allowing massive high resolution
digital film productivity.The
FURY 4K will dramatically reduce the cost per frame, advancing the new era
where all films will have a digital master negative.”
About CELCO:
CELCO
was founded in 1950 by John M. Constantine Sr. as an engineering
laboratory dedicated to high resolution display technology. CELCO’s
innovations in the field of electron beam control soon made the company a
leading producer of electron optics including deflection yokes and focus
coils used in high resolution display systems. Its display components have
been used for an abundance of military and civilian applications in
everything from fighter jets, flight simulators, medical imaging systems,
electron beam welders, to the space shuttle. CELCO also became known for
its lab standard test equipment including high performance deflection
amplifiers and precision display systems. The technologies evolved into
the production of complete digital imaging systems starting in the 1970s
with large format satellite imaging systems to the first motion picture
digital film recorder used for Disney’s TRON in the early 1980s.
