Globalstor Data Corporation today announced an OEM partnership with FPC, Inc., A Kodak Company, the premier supplier of post-production products and services to the motion picture industry in Hollywood and a subsidiary of Eastman Kodak Entertainment Imaging Group. The agreement is part of a strategic initiative by Globalstor to expand support for TransProÔ for DVD, their latest solution for the motion picture and post- production industries.
Globalstor Data’s TransPro is a complete dailies mastering system, capable of producing quality DVD discs with features to rival discs created by expensive service bureaus. Automatically-generated DVD menus and scene/take chapter-points give directors, producers and actors clear and immediate access to the day’s shoot. These discs can then be used to assess even fine details including camera angles, make-up and lighting, which can then be revised in the next shoot. The end result is greater artistic control over the entire movie making process, considerable budget savings and a better quality final product.
“The ability to quickly create DVD formatted discs with scene/take menu chapter points is a significant step forward,” said Keith Watanabe, Sales Manager for FPC, Inc. “As the industry migrates to random access and computer friendly formats, this system provides a robust, speed-efficient solution.”
Through its partnership with FPC, Globalstor designed TransPro with the needs of the Motion Picture community in mind. Advanced automation features for quickly and accurately importing scene and take information allow studio facilities to create fully-featured DVD Dalies discs without spending the time to custom-master each disc from scratch.
“TransPro makes it easy and economical for the motion picture and post-production industries to utilize DVD authoring and dailies creation every day, from any location,” said Scott Leif, President and CTO of Globalstor Data Corporation. “As Hollywood’s leading post-production products and services provider, FPC is an ideal OEM partner for debuting the TransPro and we are looking forward to working together to provide organizations with a single, flexible, turn-key digital solution.”
Availability
The TransPro is available now through FPC, Inc. or direct from Globalstor with a two-year factory warranty. Gigabit and Fibre Channel options are available either pre-integrated or as upgrade options.
