Cross-Platform 12-bit Online Workflow Up to 4K Spatial Resolution

With versions for both Windows and Mac, CineForm’s Neo 4K delivers a real-time online 4K editorial workflow, enhancing all Windows and Mac editing and effects applications.

Optimized for digital cinema and film projects, Neo 4K delivers unmatched workflow efficiency through its real-time performance plus the industry’s highest visual fidelity compression. With 12-bit I/O precision and support for all chroma formats — YUV, RGB(A), and RAW — Neo 4K ensures the highest fidelity achievable anywhere.

With Neo 4K you get:

The Industry’s Best Compression: CineForm’s respected 12-bit CineForm 444 format exceeds the visual fidelity of the respected HDCAM SR tape format. But different than tape, CineForm files are immediately ready for editorial or archive as soon as they are created. But that’s only the start — CineForm RAW offers compatibility with all digital cinema cameras up to 4K spatial resolution. CineForm files are visually equivalent to uncompressed sources but weigh in at about 15% of the file size.

Up to 4K spatial resolution: No projects are more visually and computationally demanding than digital cinema projects requiring substantial manipulation in post, or those destined for the big screen. The unmatched performance and visual quality of the Neo 4K processing engine enhances the performance, features, and visual quality of any QuickTime or DirectShow editorial or effects application in a big way, supporting YUV, RGB(A), or RAW chroma formats up to 4K spatial resolution on the timeline in real time.

Cross-Platform compatibility: CineForm files are compatible on both Windows and Mac with your preferred software applications from Adobe, Apple, Autodesk, Sony, and virtually any other DirectShow (AVI) or QuickTime (MOV) application. Create on one platform, share on the other, even with distributed editing workflows. CineForm provides a free decoder on both Win and Mac to easily share content — even at 4K resolution.

First Light™: cross-platform, non-destructive color processing application works in complement with your editing and effects software. First Light maintains color adjustments as Active Metadata™ with your media — you never need to render, and consequently you never clip highlights. First Light color adjustments are immediately visible in any application that calls a CineForm file.

DPX and RAW Format Converters: Most digital cinema Raw cameras acquire in formats unsuitable for high-performance online post-production. Source Raw formats from Red One, VR Phantom, and Arri D21 can be converted into CineForm RAW files more suitable for high-performance online editorial. Converters between DPX files and CineForm files are included to ensure broadest industry compatibility.

HD Link/ReMaster: file conversion and image processing software converts most camera or file-based source formats into 10-bit CineForm Intermediate HD files while also performing valuable tasks such as telecine removal, deinterlacing, spatial resampling, and much more. Enables true 24p editing workflows from most HD sources. Neo HD on Mac also supports ProRes as a destination format.

NOTE: Some minor feature differences may exist between the Windows and Mac versions of Neo 4K. Please verify features in the Trial download or Specifications prior to purchase.
