I was expecting the usual slow installation
process that goes with allot our equipment, I
literally could have done a xfer after the 1st hour of plugging
the machine in had it not been waiting
for DaVinci (scheduled for the following day) upgrades.
I have been doing numerous jobs for the last 2
weeks and am very pleased to say that we have not
had one minute of down time. The images are nothing short
of
spectacular and the range has been vastly improved from prior Cintel
products. The machine is noise free no matter how hard you push it.
The internal Colour Vector Image Processor or CVIP
is one of the most amazing features of C-Reality.
It allows you to isolate a color not only by hue, but also by
saturation level and luminance level. I took a scene with
a woman wearing a red necklace and was able to change the necklace to any
color without changing her skin tones at all. CVIP is very powerful
and there are currently six vectors
for any give scene. This really works and is going to be very useful
tool.
Blow ups and zooms are sharpest I have ever seen
and you no longer have to worry about doing big zooms and having
the tube collapse.
High Def and 2k outputs are working nicely and are only push button
away. So we're ready for that when it hits the fan.
Cintel has been great and our local Cintel engineer Larry Spicer
has been invaluable to us. If anyone has any
questions about C-Reality please do not hesitate to e-mail us.
