Announces DALSA is first customer for total 4K solution

S.two Corporation (NAB Booth SL9208 S. Hall Lower Level) has announced the introduction of i.DOCK4™ (4K data and HD RGB offline production ingest dock) and A.DOCK4™ (4K data and HD RGB archive dock) to compliment the DFR 4K™ (4K Digital Field Recorder) announced last year and appearing at NAB 2008 for the first time. DALSA Digital Cinema, a leader in 4K digital motion picture capture is first to order the complete tool set.
Both A.DOCK4™ and i.DOCK4™ are fully compatible with all previous S.two products; underscoring the company’s philosophy that D.MAG™ users stay in front of digital production trends. When used with the DFR4K™ D.MAG™ users capture uncompressed 4K images from digital cinematography cameras and elegantly move into editorial with i.DOCK4™ which allows instant ingest to platforms such as FCP-for the fastest dailies turnaround time in the business.

i.DOCK4™ also features real-time de-Bayering of any single sensor Bayer data camera such as the DALSA Evolution and ARRI D-21. It also supports user loaded Look-up Tables (LUT’s) and provides network access to the uncompressed 4K and 3K frames plus metadata. A.DOCK4™ automatically provides fully data-based, verified, secure archive and safety copies to dual uncompressed LTO tapes and network access to the D.MAG™ data.

Comments Steve Roach S.two Marketing VP, “The delivery of A.DOCK4™ and i.DOCK4™ complete the missing pieces of the jigsaw for 4K clients who can now utilize the S.two toolset all the way from capture through post-to archive and conform. They represent an incredible investment; allowing our Post partners to use the same equipment for 4K, 3K and HD444 productions. Now S.two clients have the capability to produce a complete 4K project at the same basic budget levels previously required to produce HD444. It’s an amazing breakthrough.”
