Technological innovations of the 21st century are changing the workflows for broadcast, television production and digital cinema mastering and distribution. As digital capabilities increase, the media and entertainment industries are no longer bound to chemical film and analog processes. SGI specializes in workflow infrastructure to maximize performance and efficiencies in digital intermediate facilities. Digital technologies enable content to be created once at the highest resolution and repurposed to many targeted file-based media: film recording, DCI compliant packages, DVD, HDDVD, HD, SD video, broadband mobile, terrestrial, satellite, network, and wireless delivery of content.

Today, SGI products and solutions enable:

• Resolution-independent digital intermediate production
• Collaborative data-centric production
• Highly interactive performance
