In collaboration with Thomson Grass Valley, CineForm developed I-J2K Suite to enhance post-production workflows for Infinity™ camcorder users.  I-J2K Suite enables conversion of Infinity J2K-MXF media into 10-bit 1920x1080 (or 1280x720) CineForm Intermediate files for an online HD post-production workflow on either Windows or Mac.  Additionally, I-J2K Suite will re-wrap J2K-MXF files into:

• J2K-AVI files (Windows) for playback in Windows DirectShow applications like Windows Media Player or others OR
• J2K-MOV files (Mac) for playback in QuickTime Player or other QuickTime compatible applications.

Workflow Description

• Shoot à with Infinity in 10-bit 1920x1080 or 1280x720 format to JPEG2000 files on Compact Flash or Rev Pro

• File Conversion à When I-J2K Suite is installed with Neo HD/4K (Windows or Mac) or Prospect HD/4K (Windows), you can

i)  rewrap (for shot review) J2K MXF media into a playable J2K-AVI or J2K-MOV format for Windows Media Player or QuickTime Player.

ii) transcode (for editing) J2K MXF media in real time⁽¹⁾ into 10-bit CineForm Intermediate AVI files (Windows) or MOV files (Mac) for editing

• Edit à Your CineForm Intermediate files are ready for online editing

  • on Windows using Premiere Pro, Sony Vegas, or others

  • on Mac using Final Cut Pro, Premiere Pro, or others

Workflow Notes

• You must have either Prospect HD/4K (Win) or Neo HD/4K (Win or Mac) installed to work with Infinity media, which also installs a Trial version of I-J2K Suite.

• Conversion and re-wrapping can be initiated from CF or Rev Pro source media, eliminating a file copy otherwise required.

• Chunking Support: The file "chunking" feature of Infinity files is supported, allowing users to choose whether to concatenate file chunks into a single converted file or whether to leave them as separately converted chunks. 

• Trial Version: CineForm's Neo HD/4K (Windows or Mac) and Prospect HD/4K (Windows) ship with a Trial version of I-J2K Suite which will work with full functionality but with a watermark added to converted content.  To remove the watermark you may purchase I-J2K Suite from the CineForm online store.

Tech Note: Read the Windows or Mac Tech Notes for details about using Infinity files with I-J2K Suite and HD Link (Windows) or ReMaster (Mac).
