Dolby Vision QC in Colorfront Transkoder | Dolby x Colorfront

This video tutorial provides a comprehensive guide on using the Colorfront Transcoder for Dolby Vision quality control, detailing two specific workflows: quality control of a ProRes file with Dolby Vision sidecar XML, and a Dolby Vision IMF package.

The tutorial begins by explaining how to import ProRes files and apply Dolby Vision XML metadata. It emphasizes the importance of using validation tools within the Transkoder to ensure the integrity of Dolby Vision metadata, which includes generating PQ statistics and validating them against scene edits. Additionally, the tutorial covers the validation of edits where metadata may not align with scene cuts, and how to use tools such as the CMU node and graph windows to visually inspect and adjust metadata and luminance changes across different frames.

For the Dolby Vision IMF QC workflow, the process involves additional validation steps like the L6 sanity test to further ensure the accuracy and consistency of metadata according to industry standards.

FREAK FUSION CABARET - PANASONIC VARICAM 35 HFR

Directed and Produced by Oliver Farkas

Colorfront Interactive HFR Frame-Blending supports a wide range of digital cameras that can shoot 120FPS HFR.

At NAB 2015, Colorfront showed Interactive HFR Frame-Blending, a unique creative capability giving realtime control over the motion blur of objects in an HFR sequence. Colorfront is demonstrating Interactive HFR Frame-Blending using Panasonic Varicam 422Lt RAW footage, shot at 120FPS with an open shutter, being deBayered in 4K on-the-fly.

Using a simple slider interface, this new capability allows users – both on-set and in post production – to incrementally adjust shutter angles on HFR footage between 72º and 360º, and to perform realtime frame blending. Along with providing control over motion blur, this new capability also delivers the ability to retime shots and create speed ramps – with the results being seen immediately, playing back realtime.
