FilmLight has been awarded a 2012 Primetime Emmy Award for its color preview and dailies products – Truelight On-Set and Baselight TRANSFER.
The Primetime Emmy Awards in Engineering are presented by the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences for significant innovations in TV technology.
Truelight On-Set and Baselight Transfer form part of the end-to-end color pipeline developed by FilmLight, providing a consistent look and creative control from production to mastering for film and television. Truelight On-Set takes care of the wide range of color spaces and display technologies in use today and provides an accurate color rendition from the live feed of digital cameras. This allows cinematographers to communicate their creative intent by applying ASC CDL color correction, while exploiting and retaining the full dynamic range of the camera. Truelight On-Set also applies color transforms to enable the Academy Color Encoding System (ACES) workflow.
Baselight TRANSFER is a fully integrated system designed for 4K/5K dailies workflows using the latest digital film cameras. It manages dailies processing from ingest and review through the generation of material for editorial, VFX and other deliverables. The system transcodes raw files from all common digital cameras, syncs sound, applies color and burn-ins and manages metadata. Baselight Transfer includes full support for ACES, ASC CDL and Truelight color management.
Both systems have been in regular use on high-end episodic television and feature films for more than three years including Body of Proof, Game of Thrones, House of Lies, Justified, NCIS, Once Upon A Time, Psych, Revenge and 90210.
The Primetime Emmy Awards Engineering Awards will be presented Oct. 24 at the Loews Hollywood Hotel in Hollywood.
