The Munich based company supports the Berlinale by providing three R&S CLIPSTER mastering stations and the reliable R&S SpycerBox Cell storage unit. The systems located in the Colt Technology Services data processing center are key elements of the Berlinale’s digital workflow. The R&S CLIPSTER quickly and reliably generates extremely high quality digital cinema packages (DCP) for the screenings. These are distributed from the data center to the various festival venues.

In total, about 1100 films will be shown at the Berlinale and the European Film Market. The R&S SpycerBox Cell buffers the video files, enabling R&S CLIPSTER to quickly and efficiently process the enormous data volumes. The mastering station supports a variety of video formats, allowing previously digitized films to be quickly converted and processed. The mastering station generates high-quality DCPs faster than in real time, which makes it possible to convert the films from video file format to DCP format in time for the screenings. Last-minute adjustments, such as subtitle changes, are also easy to make.

Founded in 1951, the Berlinale is now not only the largest cultural event in the German capital, but also one of the key events of the international film industry. Around 20,000 professional visitors from more than 130 countries, including some 4000 journalists, register for the Berlin International Film Festival every year. With more than 330,000 paid admissions each year, the Berlinale is not only an industry get-together, but also one of the biggest public film festivals worldwide. The Berlinale is more than just a major media event – it is a hotspot for networking and discussion, where cinematography, glamour and business join hands for 11 days.
