Dubbing/Deliverables

Duplication & Deliverables

Duplication, Clones & Conversions
It all goes back the concept of "know where you're going." Because we have the in-house capabilities to master across a broad range of formats, SD to HD, we talk about the end from the very beginning. Need closed captioning? We've got it. Delivering a digibeta but need to master to HDCAM SR? No problem. We have the experience to recognize potential bumps in the road and the gear to avoid them. The result is a hassle-free ride all the way to broadcast.

Digitizing / IO / RED Transcoding
Simple and scalable - that's how we look at I/O and the new media work we do. Forget renting decks and spending hours loading footage. We load and label files for maximum productivity, so when you return your finished work to us, we can master without a hitch. Our depth of knowledge means that your project - HD or SD - has accurate compression settings and other technological tweaks so it looks amazing whether it's streamed on the internet or screened on DVD.

  • • Tape to Hard Drive (HDCAM SR, D5 & all SD formats)
  • • Hard Drive to Tape (HDCAM SR, D5 & all SD formats)
  • • File Encoding (Mpeg2, Quicktime, h.264, wmv & more)
  • • Transcoding of RED & other file based formats

Working with RED changes all the rules.  After shooting, you have a “digital negative”—your RAW vision.  What you do next with that RAW vision will determine the full range of possibilities for your project.  Transcoding RAW files is not an exact science, and our experience and resources in mastering and finishing means that we’ll take the necessary care in working with your digital negative. While transcoding your files, we’ll be setting the “latitude” for your look, ensuring the proper balance of gamma, hue, and saturation for optimal color correction later on.  This process of grading while we transcode—what we call “TransGrading”—is the difference you’ll get at West Post with your RED projects.



 

DVD Design, Authoring & Replication
Our one stop shopping approach carries over into DVD creation since there are substantial efficiencies gained by using the media that’s already on our drives to create the elements for your DVD project.

Whether you need screeners, or high quality fully interactive authored DVD’s, our in house producers and stable of designers and replicators, can truly take a project from concept to professional quality finished product. Whether you need a couple, a couple of hundred or several thousand DVD’s, give us a call to discuss your project; we’d love to be of service!

 

"West Post Digital is my favorite post house. I always feel welcomed from the moment I step in the front door throughout the duration of the project."

— Pamela Lawson, Producer, CBS
