4K Hub

Blackmagic Design today announced a revolution in high end color correction with new DaVinci Resolve 7.0 that includes support for the Mac OS X platform, upgraded user interface, improved video field support, a new EDL library, improved shared database support, as well as new pricing for all models starting from a very affordable $995.

All models of DaVinci Resolve will be demonstrated on the Blackmagic Design NAB 2010 booth at #SL 6020.

In the past DaVinci Resolve systems were pre built and priced from $200,000 for a 1 GPU based system, to over $800,000 for a 16 GPU top of the line system. Even though this was in line with industry standard practice, it meant professional color correction was way too expensive for most people to afford. Blackmagic Design has worked hard to change this, and make DaVinci Resolve more powerful but at the same time also more affordable for everyone.

At the recent German premiere of Sony Pictures’ hugely anticipated film The Bounty Hunter, Gerard Butler and a high profile audience were delighted to watch the exclusive film with Sony Professional’s state-of-the-art Sony Digital Cinema 4K system.
Featuring four times the resolution of traditional Full-HD and 2K digital projectors, the 4K system has been installed at the CinemaxX Potsdamer Platz in Berlin. The Bounty Hunter will or has already been distributed as native 4K DCP (Digital Cinema Package) globally.
The film is the story of a down-on-his-luck bounty hunter, Milo Boyd (Gerard Butler) who gets his dream job when he is assigned to track down his bail-jumping journalist ex-wife, Nicole Hurly (Jennifer Aniston). However, the exes soon find themselves both on the run as they have to test their past love, honor and trust to the limit.
