Studio Daily | GoPro's David Newman on CineForm's Latest Studio Products
GoPro today announced a new version of its CineForm Studio lineup that it hopes will help build a bridge between professionals of all stripes and the enthusiasts who embrace its rugged $300 HD cameras. With the latest revisions, the free version of CineForm Studio adds features like support for H.264 footage from non-GoPro cameras using an MOV or MP4 wrapper (this works in 2D only; 3D is only enabled for GoPro cameras in the free version) and automatic recognition of 3D formats for YouTube uploads. The $299 "Premium" version adds all of the functionality from CineForm's First Light color-correction application plus support for a much wider range of video cameras, including 3D modes, and the $999 "Professional" version expands support for pro stereo rigs by adding independent eye control to the mix.

SGO | Mistika Announces Native Support for CineForm RAW
SGO announces today that the codec used by Silicon Imaging Cameras, such as the SI-2K, is now supported natively in Mistika, without required conversions, and all in real-time. Industry-leading DI and stereo 3D post system, Mistika, has been developed to support the CineForm RAW digital intermediate codec, a powerful 12-bit codec that natively encodes the RAW Bayer data from the single-sensor on Silicon Imaging cameras. It then preserves the RAW data at the codec level, until the information is "flattened" for final output. Silicon Imaging SI-2K combines a digital cinema class 2048x1152 resolution camera head, and the power of CineForm RAW, to deliver a direct-to-disk raw recording platform with unprecedented image quality and shooting flexibility.
