Press Release from ASSIMILATE

Las Vegas, Nevada -- April 21, 2008 -- NAB 09 -- ASSIMILATE, developer and provider of the SCRATCH Digital Process Solution, continues to offer the latest advances in real-time digital intermediate (DI) workflows for use by all filmmakers and post-production houses. ASSIMILATE's focus for NAB 09 is demonstrations of its latest version of the SCRATCH Digital Process Solution; SCRATCH FINSIHING module; SCRATCH-RED 4K Digital Workflow; and the SCRATCH Stereoscopic 3D Workflow.

The SCRATCH-RED 4K Workflow easily supports RED Digital Cinema's native REDCODE files. Once the REDCODE RAW.R3D files are loaded into SCRATCH, post-production artists can immediately review; assemble; conform; do real-time playback, color grading, and finishing; and output to any format, any resolution, up to and including full 4K. The SCRATCH-RED workflow is also useful on location, allowing the filmmaker to immediately review shots and shoot more footage if necessary before striking the set.

ASSIMILATE offers an efficient and powerful, production-tested, stereoscopic/3D digital workflow that runs on optimized commodity workstations. The usual real-time SCRATCH tools can be applied, including data management, conform, color grading, preview, dailies, real-time playback, rough cuts, and finishing.

"When we founded ASSIMILATE in 2004, our vision had a specific focus: empower creative professionals with a simplified, data-centric, and completely real-time 2K DI pipeline. This opened the doors to hundreds of independent filmmakers and boutique post houses, worldwide, to create high-quality imagery projects -- films, trailers, TV episodes, music videos, and commercials -- on a restricted budget," says Jeff Edson, CEO at ASSIMILATE. "Since then, our digital workflows have had regular updates – based on customer requests and input – to give these users even greater visual and creative capability, as well as ease-of-use with real-time 4K and stereoscopic 3D pipelines. The SCRATCH digital workflow has evolved to be a ubiquitous tool, supporting these formats, as well as all other formats such as film, 2K, and HD/SD. Users worldwide now have more choices for creating vibrant imagery and breaking new cinematic ground, with SCRATCH as the clear choice for a cost-effective, real-time digital workflow that makes efficiency, greater productivity, and time savings possible."
