Celco announced that all new Celco Digital Film Recording Systems are now shipping with its new Linux Based PC and Film Recorder Driver Software. The Linux PC will be powered by high-speed Dual/Dual Core processors, and Red Hat Linux based Operating Software. The Linux software and PC hardware will be included as part of the complete and integrated film recorder package. The combined speed and power of the two technologies will allow premiere post-production facilities worldwide to meet the demanding timeframes of their digital workflow.
Until now Celco film recorders have been based on SGI IRIX host computing systems as they were well established and a leader to date within the entertainment industry
. But with the advent of Linux and its significant price performance advantage, more and more post facilities are incorporating it into their workflows. CELCO will continue to support customers running on the SGI IRIX platform.
Celco manufactures the FURY and Firestorm 2X film recorders. These high-speed film recorders utilize CELCO's XCRT Advanced Imaging Technology, resulting in unsurpassed image quality. Celco film recorders are a core component of the digital intermediate process, which is increasingly being utilized in motion picture making. In 2002, CELCO received Scientific and Engineering Awards from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for the design and development of the CELCO Digital Film Recorder Products. The Academy cited CELCO film recorder products having a significant impact on the industry through continual improvements in their technology.
