BTV Post Completes World's First 4K Digital Cinema Frame Rate Conversion
posted:
"This sets a new benchmark for the conversion of performance content for digital cinema, and films for television and DVD, without ever needing to slow down or speed up again," said BTV Post CTO Jon Lee. "Working closely with Snell's engineering team, we have come up with workflows to get a low frame rate conversion that is virtually indistinguishable from the original content."
The Muse concert will be released in U.K. cinemas in 4K on Nov. 5, 2013.
