De Facto Post-Production Standard for Color Management

THX has acquired the cineSpace™ Color Management Suite from Cine-Tal Systems – the de facto standard in film and television post-production for achieving color accuracy and consistency. The software creates near-perfect representations of how images will appear in their final form, from the wide array of digital formats to film. With specific requirements from creative artists about the way color is displayed, color matching is a lengthy, iterative cycle in post-production. cineSpace cuts down on these cycles by removing the guesswork when dealing with film images and producing accurate image representations which can be viewed and manipulated on a digital workstation monitor or projector. This translates into a potential savings of thousands of dollars and countless hours on a project.

THX will continue to support current cineSpace customers and will deliver regular updates to ensure customers have access to technical enhancements. cineSpace becomes a “THX technology,” joining a portfolio that includes THX Media Director™. From content creation through to playback, THX is committed to developing technologies and providing certification services that ensures entertainment is delivered as intended by the artist.
