CineAlta™ Liberating Movie Producers
C ineAlta — a name that proudly symbolises the bond between cinematography and Digital High
Definition imaging. It distinguishes a Sony family of products and systems that offer new levels of
creativity in the production, post-production and exchange of motion pictures. It also brings together the
quality and universality of 24-frame cinematography with the real-time capabilities, efficiency and flexibility
of Digital High Definition technology. And it stimulates the convergence of Motion Picture Film and Digital
High Definition production on a global basis.
CineAlta products, delivering cinema-quality pictures at selectable frame rates, are simplifying International
Programme Exchange by minimising the need for standards conversion. They are also opening up entirely
new possibilities for international co-production. Movie-making has been liberated by the creative
empowerment of the cinematographer. It is facilitated by real-time HD image evaluation on-set, instant
replay of full-colour high-resolution digital “takes,” real-time image optimisation while shooting, a 50-minute
shooting load and most importantly, by the significant cost-benefits associated with this digital medium.
CineAlta products provide a seamless bridge between 24-frame film originals and a final 24P digital
master, giving each frame of film a one-to-one correspondence with progressive HD frames. The CineAlta
environment readily interfaces with the computer graphics world, liberating post-production. And the final
liberation is achieved through the direct colour conversion of progressive 24P masters to film and to a host
of other international digital HDTV and SDTV distribution formats.
