ARRI Launch DI Software Relativity New DI based software to be used alongside Scanner and Film Burner By Paul Nicholson - June 3 2009 Comments (0) ARRI is to distribute Relativity, a new suite of software tools offering control of texture and time using sophisticated motion estimation techniques. The company officially launched the software with a high profile event for select guests at FotoKem in Burbank yesterday (June 2 2009). ARRI Relativity software is powered by Pixel Strings, the first engine to fully harness the potential of GPU-based parallel processing for motion estimation and spatial-temporal image filtering. Marketed exclusively by ARRI, this technology was developed by Cinnafilm, a New Mexico software developer, teaming with Digital Film Central, a Vancouver post production facility, on the Texture Control module. “In the last decade, film post production has been reinvented by the application of digital tools to the colour correction and finishing process. Relativity takes the DI process to another level, providing interactive control of grain and texture, plus motion effects.” says Glenn Kennel, Chief Technology Officer for ARRI Inc. "The entire Relativity software bundle is currently comprised of three different applications: Texture Control, Film Simulation and SpaceTime Converter, with more coming soon. The software suite is modular and easily configured to meet the needs of each customer. All tools have a simple interface with interactive visualization of the manipulated image." www.arri.de
