Light Iron Launches Live Play Post facility Light Iron has launched its iPad-based Live Play mobile-dailies application through Apple’s iTunes Store. Live Play is an automated and interactive playback system that enables users to monitor metadata-rich files and simultaneously review takes and add comments on multiple iPads. Wireless, secure and customizable, Live Play enables close collaboration among the creative team on set, as well as with visual-effects, editorial and other post teams. Live Play’s toolset includes instant HD playback, database creation and metadata management. Light Iron has used its Live Play system with such clients as Columbia Pictures, Walt Disney Studios, Lakeshore Entertainment, N BC Universal and Electric Entertainment. “We now have clients who rent multiple iPads so they can leave them in different places to view their dailies,” says Light Iron CEO Michael Cioni. “The response has been overwhelming.” Located in the Apps Store in iTunes, Live Play can be downloaded for $34.99.

KataData Calculates Runtime Katabatic Digital, a New York-based grading, finishing and visual-effects studio, has released the KataData iPhone app. KataData is a storage and runtime calculator for on-set, post and even non-technical positions. KataData was built for filmmakers and post artists, and it supports an extensive list of cameras — such as Red One, Red Epic, Phantom, Arri Alexa and Canon DSLRs — and codecs — such as DPX, Open EXR, DN xHD and ProRes. KataData’s ease of use eliminates hours of calculations and frustration. Users simply enter the amount of footage they have by file size (MB, GB or TB) and KataData calculates the runtime or storage. Multiple calculations can also be entered and added. “For today’s apps, an intuitive user interface is a must-have, so we’ve built in some cool features like swipe gestures to convert units and time code,” says Emery Wells, founder of Katabatic Digital. “For Red camera users, it’s also easy to calculate stereo and HDRx options. We’ll continue to add more features based on user feedback. If market demand is there, we’ll build it.” KataData is available now through the iTunes App Store for $4.99. In addition to the iPhone, the app is also compatible with the iPod and iPad running iOS 4 or later. For additional information, visit www.kata batic.tv/katadata.
