SCRATCH Lab provides filmmakers and on-set professionals with an ACES-compliant toolset for real-time playback of 4K/2K RAW, while taking full advantage of the F55's ultra-wide color gamut. In addition to RAW, artists can playback Sony's XAVC in HD, 2K and 4K, as well as XDCAM 50Mbps in 4:2:2 mode. SCRATCH Lab also allows cinematographers to process the 6K and 8K images from the F65 sensor.
The unparalleled color space of the Sony F55 and F65 CineAlta digital cameras, coupled with SCRATCH Lab allows for much more creative freedom then was previously available in the production and post-production processes, stated Werner Uys at Visual Impact. This powerful new combination offers our customers outstanding media processing and color-correction capabilities, while allowing them to transcode RAW and XAVC 2K / 4K files to virtually any other industry standard format.
ASSIMILATE's SCRATCH Lab has quickly become the go-to system for DITs and DPs to process images from advanced digital cinematic cameras because it has the features, functions, and power to handle virtually any format, color space or resolution you can throw at it, and at a price that is many times less than its competitors, stated Nacho Mazzini, VP of sales at ASSIMILATE. We're excited that Visual Impact is providing the power of SCRATCH Lab for FREE to their Sony Cine Alta camera customers, enabling them to maximize the potential of these amazing cameras.
