It is the name behind more feature films, televi- sion content, episodic television production and music videos than any other grading system, which means our students now have access to the most professional level of colour correction used by pro- fessionals worldwide,” commented Stephane Rand- jelovic, Head of the Film Department at SAE Insti- tute Dubai. With the DaVinci Resolve, all image processing is handled in the deepest 32 bit floating point accuracy, allowing users to even wind down one layer to almost black and still wind the following layer back up with no loss of quality. All effects, power windows, track- ing, primaries and secondaries operate at the high- est bit depths, even when processing in real time. “We’ve always been adamant that we offer the lat- est and best equipment for all our courses and the DaVinci Resolve is the first in a wave of items on a long list for 2012,” added Randjelovic. The control surface and Resolve software have been designed by colourists to work together in total har- mony. Controls have been placed near natural hand positions and lift, gamma and gain can all be adjust- ed at the same time, while each correction control has a separate button or knob so users can instinc- tively reach out and touch every part of the image. DaVinci colour correctors have been the standard in post-production since 1984 and the company’s pro- cessing quality won it an Emmy award for contribu- tions to the television industry. n +++ Blackmagic Design’s DaVinci Resolve Control Surface at SAE Dubai +++ SAE Dubai launches new Bachelor of Arts in Games Development +++ SAE Dubai’s Morris Ennai approaches his 3,000th hour in the studio +++ Blackmagic Design’s DaVinci R 255 SAE & SAE ALUMNI NEWS // Intercontinental NEWS Index
