SILVER TRAK SEES CLEARLY THROUGH IRIS FOR 4K QC
First in Australia to purchase and offer the latest GreyMeta Iris 4K QC solution
SYDNEY, 16 August 2016 – Furthering its commitment to the market of having the very latest in broadcast services and technology Silver Trak has purchased and installed the unique Iris media player platform from GreyMeta enabling them to offer comprehensive Quality Control (QC) for 4K content. The move makes Silver Trak the first company in Australia to adopt Iris to enhance its QC services.
Silver Trak MD Christian Christiansen explained the company’s decision to invest in the software, “Iris lets us take our QC offering to the next level and include 4K content. We use Iris so we can playback very high bitrate files such as 4K IMP and DCP (encrypted and unencrypted) image sequences. We can also review and edit captions on screen. Iris also allows us to playback HDR content and has a number of scopes which are valuable for 4K QC purposes, especially when those files have to be sent to companies like Netflix.”
Iris is an award winning collaborative professional media player renowned for critical viewing and quality control. By combining on screen drawing, file checking templates, timeline annotations and messages shared instantly and safely with key stakeholders the system is safe, secure and efficient.
The new Iris solution has hit the ground running with Silver Trak already receiving and QC-ing 4K master files from a significant number of clients across Australia.
Underpinning Silver Trak’s decision to purchase Iris was its commitment to offer the best possible QC across all formats and platforms.
President of GrayMeta, Mark Gray, added, “The investment in world leading 4K quality control technology at this crucial juncture underscores Silver Trak’s leading position in Australia’s high end post production marketplace. As IRIS’ first adopters, it’s clear they are again the most forward thinking in this space. IRIS is being sold and supported in Australia by Techtel and they were instrumental in enabling this relationship from product sales and technical support through to systems integration.”
Christian Christiansen concluded, “We are delighted to be able to offer the market full, proper and comprehensive QC for 4K content in Australia. With Iris and our already-proven in-house workflows and expertise we can offer the best service possible, and this means that our clients’ high quality requirements for 4K QC are met every time.”
