June 20th, 2013. Mexico City, Mexico. Sony Professional Solutions Latin America (PSLA) announced today that it is offering a FREE license of ASSIMILATE's award-winning SCRATCH Lab Advanced Dailies software to their customers who purchase a high-end F5 and F55 CineAlta camera, together with the AXS-R5 Raw Recorder. The offer will also applies to buyers of Sony's F65 camera. The license of SCRATCH Lab is fully functional, and offers users a powerful, widely adopted software solution to process and manage large amounts of data, color-correct, sync audio and transcode the stunning images from the entire range of Sony CineAlta cameras. Each customer will have access to one (1) license of SCRATCH Lab software free of charge through ASSIMILATE. Contact your local Sony PSLA Representative for the availability of this offer.
SCRATCH Lab provides filmmakers and on-set professionals 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.
Our new high-end CineAlta cameras have been very well received in Latin America, and so has SCRATCH Lab, stated Andrew Nelles, senior marketing manager at Sony PSLA. 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 - at a price that is many times less than its competitors, stated Nacho Mazzini, VP of sales at ASSIMILATE. We're excited that Sony is providing the power of SCRATCH Lab for FREE to their CineAlta camera customers, giving them the ability to maximize the potential of these amazing cameras.
Salvador De la Serna, marketing manager for Cinema Cameras at SONY PSLA, added The unparalleled color space of the F55 and F65 coupled with the SCRATCH software allows for much more creative freedom then was previously available in the Post Production Process.
