COLORFRONT ON-SET DAILIES WINS EMMY AWARD

Colorfront On-Set Dailies has been awarded a 2012 Engineering Emmy by the Board of Governors of the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences.

The Engineering Emmy is presented to an individual, company or organization for engineering developments so significant an improvement on existing methods or so innovative in nature that they materially affect the transmission, recording or reception of television.

The Emmy was presented at the Awards Ceremony on Wednesday, October 24, 2012 at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood.

Within the past two years the entire high-end HD episodic television industry has experienced a seismic shift and moved from shooting 35mm film negative to digital. A new generation of digital cameras raised the quality bar, allowing productions to jump from 35mm film – skipping tape – and adopt file-based digital workflows. This eliminated the need for negative stock, photochemical development, telecine and video transfer, offering great savings to productions while achieving exceptional production value and quality.

Colorfront On-Set Dailies allowed high-end episodic television shows that switched to digital file-based workflows to process and deliver multiple hours of footage each day so that dailies requirements could remain unchanged and deliver color graded, sound sync images with burn-ins in multiple file formats for editorial, production review, DVDs, viewing copies etc.

Colorfront On-Set Dailies was introduced in the US at NAB 2011, and quickly became the de-facto standard for the leading labs and high-end post-production facilities to process hours of digitally acquired material daily. This has changed the way high-end episodic television productions are created.
