Fujifilm Showcases IS-mini and CCBOXX at 2014 Cine Gear Expo Los Angeles

VALHALLA, N.Y., May 28, 2014 – Featuring groundbreaking color management and class-leading capability, FUJIFILM North America Corporation’s Imaging Division will return to the 2014 Cine Gear Expo Los Angeles to present its highly popular IS-mini digital color adjustment and monitor calibration device, along with the sophisticated IS-100 “CCBOXX” on-set look creation system.  Fujifilm’s Image Processing System product line was developed to serve the critical color management needs of digital imaging technicians (DITs), cinematographers, and post-production facilities. The show will be held from June 5-8 at The Studios at Paramount in Hollywood.

Fujifilm will be demonstrating several new features for the Image Processing System product line. New upgrades to the IS MiniManager software, that runs on both Windows and Apple computer platforms, will now be able to control multiple IS-mini units by way of USB, and will offer simple built-in color grading abilities as well as the ability to export LUTS in the Davinci Resolve format.  In addition, Fujifilm will be introducing a forthcoming LUT browsing and downloading function that will have over 17,000 LUTS available to end users  These new features enhance and broaden the appeal of the Fujifilm Image Processing System for cinematography and post-production.

The IS-mini is a small hardware device that takes incoming HD-SDI digital camera moving picture video and converts the color information via two sets of 1D LUTs and 3D LUTs to outputs of both HS-SDI and HDMI connections – all in record time while still delivering high quality imaging. The IS-mini is an extension of the technologies first introduced through the IS-100 CCBOXX, and is designed to work with the CCBOXX by extending the abilities to have accurately profiled production monitors and remote color adjustment of live digital images during movie and television productions.  Together, they form a powerful on-set color management system. 

By use of the dedicated IS MiniManager software application, the IS-mini can also operate independently of the CCBOXX to create monitor calibrations and apply them to almost any kind of production monitor.  Because of the built-in Ethernet connection, multiple IS-mini units can be assembled into a powerful array for multi-monitor/multi-camera image control and very precise color matching.

The CCBOXX is an ACES based on-set color management solution with extraordinary precision and flexibility.  With the CCBOXX, cameras can be calibrated instantly on-site, while the monitors’ calibrations are fully automated, eliminating the need for specialized skills. The CCBOXX is so effective that it has been used on several US-based feature length movies and commercials, as well as multi-camera live concert events.

“Designed for colorists, digital imaging technicians, editors, VFX providers, and directors of photography, the IS-mini and CCBOXX both deliver Fujifilm’s groundbreaking color management and class-leading capability,” said Manny Almeida, senior vice president and general manager, FUJIFILM North America Corporation, Imaging and Electronic Imaging Divisions.
