ImageBooster

The existing ARRILASER Image Process- ing Engine is being replaced by the new ARRILASER ImageBooster software that is also used in the ARRISCAN film scan- ner and ARRIFLEX D-21 camera. The ImageBooster utilizes not only the Host PC’s CPU (Computer Processing Unit), but also – in line with the latest develop- ments – permits rendering to be carried out entirely with the GPU (Graphics Processing Unit).

Real-Time Image Viewer

A new image viewer with A/B comparison fully visual- izes the image manipulation to avoid any unpleasant surprises after a recording has finished. With the new GPU-based rendering, all image manipulations made by the ARRILASER ImageBooster can be played back in real-time.

Status Monitor

New software modules such as the Status Monitor allow everyone involved to have a constant overview of the progress of each individual recorder. There is no need to install any software to access the Status Moni- tor as it is simply an HTML broadcast and therefore runs on any internet browser that has access to the company’s network.
