HEVC Encoding

 KITe UltraHD Authoring Suite

Why we chose Sirius Pixels over ATEME

While most of the industry had standardized on the ATEME TITAN File encoder, we at Diversified Video Solutions made a deliberate and strategic decision to partner with Sirius Pixels and standardize on their 4K/UHD encoder, "UHDe". This choice was driven by our unwavering commitment to delivering reference quality video that not only meets but exceeds industry standards.

Understanding the Decision

After extensive research and testing, it became clear that UHDe from Sirius Pixels offered unparalleled advantages that aligned perfectly with our goals. One of the standout features of UHDe is its unique ability segment re-encode. This flexibility allows finite adjustments at a GOP or frame level, resulting in superior compression and video quality. The integration of UHDe into our workflow ensures  the content we compress maintains a reference quality grade and making it 100% compliant with industry regulations. With the encoder's advanced technology and customization options enable us to surpass the quality of any 4K/UHD encoder available! This is a significant achievement, as maintaining high video quality is paramount in our operations. Our ability to deliver content that surpasses industry expectations places us at the forefront of the competitive landscape.

Innovative Video Deliverables

Finalized video deliverables in today's market must cater to a range of formats and standards. UHDe excels in this aspect, supporting multiple formats such as HEVC H.265 (.hevc) in Standard Dynamic Range (SDR), High Dynamic Range (HDR10), HDR10+, and Dolby Vision (Profile 7 BL+EL in MEL or FEL). This extensive support ensures that our clients receive their content in the highest possible quality and format, tailored to their specific needs.

In Conclusion

Our decision to standardize on the Sirius Pixels UHDe encoder is a strategic move that underscores our commitment to innovation and quality. By leveraging the unique capabilities of the encoder, we are able to deliver reference quality video that surpasses industry standards and maintains full compliance. This partnership positions Diversified Video Solutions as one of the current leaders in the video compression and delivery industry, equipped to handle any and all content needs with unmatched proficiency. As we continue to push the boundaries of what is possible, we are confident that UHDe will be a cornerstone of our success, driving excellence and innovation in every project we undertake.

AI Video Restoration

AI-assisted Editing

The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing countless industries, and video editing is no exception. As we move toward AI-assisted video editing, understanding the current trends, potential benefits, and future implications is essential for staying competitive and innovative in the media production space.

While AI brings significant opportunities, companies must also navigate challenges such as data privacy, ethical considerations in content manipulation, and the need for skilled professionals to oversee and refine AI-generated edits. Ensuring that human creativity remains at the core of the editing process will be crucial for maintaining authenticity and artistic value.

As we embrace AI-assisted video editing, we're positioning ourself at the forefront of a technological revolution. By leveraging AI, we can enhance productivity, creativity, and audience engagement, while preparing to adapt to new trends and innovations in the ever-evolving media landscape. The future of video editing is intelligent, collaborative, and infinitely creative—powered by the synergy of human expertise and artificial intelligence.

The Power of Topaz Video AI - Starlight Mini

Recent advancements in artificial intelligence have revolutionized video editing and restoration. One notable example, with the assistance of Topaz Video AI - Starlight Mini, is the clip below. This frame was exported from a recent project featurette, "A Hyena in the Safe", a 1960's caper/giallo crossover brought to the US by Celluloid Dreams. The original asset was an interlaced 720x576 25i PAL DVD rip of the original featurette. As you can see, the before image is heavily compressed and when upscaled utilizing typical methods, the final product is completly unusable. However, with the assistance of Topaz Video AI - Starlight Mini, the after image is much sharper, with increased definition, especially in faces and backgrounds. Significant reduction in compression artifacts and noise, along with brighter, truer colors and restored contrast.

Topaz Video AI Starlight Mini exemplifies how AI-assisted editing and restoration empower users to breathe new life into old, damaged, or low-quality video footage. The software’s capabilities make it possible to enhance archival material and produce professional-quality results with minimal manual intervention.

Wil AI Replace True Film Restoration?

Manual film restoration has been a painstaking process traditionally carried out by skilled technicians and artists, like Lucas Henkel with Celluloid Dreams. This work involves frame-by-frame inspection to repair physical damage, correct color fading, remove dust and scratches, and restore audio quality. Manual restoration is valued for its attention to detail and the human judgment required to preserve the filmmaker’s original artistic intent.

Despite its advantages, AI is not flawless. Algorithms may misinterpret artistic choices as flaws, potentially altering the look or feel of a film unintentionally. AI may also struggle with complex restoration tasks that require nuanced understanding, such as distinguishing intentional film grain from unwanted noise or preserving subtle color palettes. Human expertise remains essential for making subjective decisions and ensuring historical accuracy.

It is unlikely that AI-assisted restoration will fully replace manual film restoration in the foreseeable future. Instead, the most effective approach may be a collaborative one, where AI handles routine and time-consuming tasks, allowing human restorers to focus on artistic and critical decisions.

AI-assisted restoration offers powerful tools for preserving film heritage, but manual restoration will remain indispensable for tasks requiring human judgment and artistic perception. Rather than replacing manual restoration, AI is more likely to enhance and support it, creating a new era of film restoration that leverages both technology and craftsmanship.

In Conclusion

At Diversified Video Solutions, we pride ourselves on our deep expertise and hands-on experience with cutting-edge video enhancement technologies. Leveraging our comprehensive understanding of video AI software and our investment in powerful hardware, we are able to efficiently run Topaz Video AI Starlight Mini. This combination allows us to process footage quickly and deliver superior visual improvements, such as noise reduction, detail enhancement, and upscaling, all while maintaining the integrity of the original content.
