Taipei Motion Picture Corporation (TMPC), the country’s leading film laboratory and video postproduction facility recently completed the post and mastering work on the feature film “Wolf”.

TMPC recently acquired GDC Technology’s DSR™ Digital Film Agile Encoder EN1000 for its transition into offering digital cinema services. TMPC has been recognized as one of the most advanced postproduction facility in Asia. With the acquisition of GDC Technology’s encoder, TMPC is now offering a complete post service workflow from start to finish. These services include film scanning, 2K color correction, film recording, HD editing and digital cinema mastering.

The movie “Wolf” will be Taiwan’s first commercial release of a full-length feature available on digital format. The premiere of the feature was screened digitally yesterday while the general release of the movie begins today at Cinemark cinema in Taipei. This is an important milestone in the Taiwan cinema industry.

The movie was originally acquired on Sony HDCAM’s 1080/24p format. It went through an all-digital postproduction and was encoded in 1920x1080 full resolution with uncompressed PCM audio files. “We have completed 15 feature films shot in HD in the past three years, but all of them were transferred to 35mm for theatre screening. This is the first time we have the chance to make a digital cinema master for a real digital release in theatres. We look forward to a digital era of the cinema industry in Taiwan,” said Tony Hu, managing director of TMPC.

“We appreciate the technical support provided by GDC Technology. They have been very patient and efficient in solving our problems,” added Tony.

GDC Technology is the leading company in providing digital cinema solutions worldwide. The digital film encoder EN1000 features a software-based compression, which provides more flexibility to keep pace with new developments of technology. From the perspective of postproduction operations, this also means more protection for their investment.
