48 fps 3D Raw RED Epic with Assimilate Scratch

ASSIMILATE (Santa Clara, CA,USA) announced that SCRATCH achieved never before seen performance levels in the playback of RED EPIC stereoscopic 3D  content. You may now get dailies playback and review of RAW Stereo EPIC streams, direct from the camera at a full 48 frames per second.

Meanwhile, SCRATCH 6.1 finishing systems can achieve the same 48 FPS playback rate of EPIC stereo content even after sophisticated color grades and VFX have been applied. At last, that time-consuming step of transcoding is no more necessary.

A word from RED

"48 FPS Stereo EPIC feature films are the next holy grail on the moviemaking horizon," said Ted Schilowitz of RED. "Directors are constantly pushing the envelope to deliver the highest quality cinematic experience possible, and EPIC is the camera of choice for the majority of the top stereo productions in 2012. We're delighted that these productions now have the benefit of 48 FPS playback, review and QC of stereo EPIC shots, on-set and in real-time, with an industry leading tool like SCRATCH Lab. The ability to achieve 48 FPS Stereo EPIC support in a world-class dailies workflow system for less than $5,000 is astonishing."
