JVC's digital dailies solution for filmmakes

JVC Professional Products technology could change the way directors and producers make the films following their digital production of film dailies.
In a joint project that began in November of last year, industry post-production pioneer LaserPacific has begun to use JVC’s D-VHS and D-ILA technology to display dailies transferred to high definition. For years, Hollywood has viewed dailies on film and for many, will continue to do so. But as more movies utilise digital production and post-production methods, film dailies may not be an option for certain projects. JVC hope that the new process can make high-quality dailies on location practical and is superior to conventional standard definition videocassettes.
LaserPacific have been developing processes and systems that allow studios to see high-quality images that are practical, affordable and portable. Transferring dailies to high definition is believed to be more cost-effective for processes such as digital previews where films are shown to audiences before they are complete.
JVC and LaserPacific will be showing the Digital Dailies system at NAB 2002 at booth L9729. Visitors to the conference can see the Digital dailies based on D-VHS technologies matched with D-ILA projection.
JVC will also showcase its DLA-G150CL, specifically created for screening room, production, post-production environments and upscale home theatres. The DLA-G150CL CineLine projector displays images that are as close to film as possible for critical screening applications.
