Nestled in the heart of Los Angeles, Culver Post is a recent addition to Amazon’s portfolio of production and entertainment businesses. In partnership with industry pioneers 424 Post and Harbor, Samsung provided Culver Post with a 34-foot, 8K IWA LED screen and Digital Cinema Initiative-certified 4K Samsung Onyx LED screen to create a true cinema-style environment for theatrical color grading and immersive sound mixing.
The groundbreaking studio environment not only signifies a leap into the future of cinematic production and consumption but also underscores the trust that experts place in Samsung’s technology.
Culver Post was created thanks to the collaboration between renowned Los Angeles sound studio 424 Post and global post-production leader Harbor. This full-service post-production studio is expected to bring unmatched mastering capabilities.
The Culver Post offers five stages for theatrical color grading and sound mixing, with the first stage outfitted with Samsung’s 34-foot, 8K IWA LED cinema display and the second stage with the DCI-certified 4K Onyx LED display. Each stage is complemented by Meyer Sound Ultra Reflex cinema sound systems featuring Dolby Atmos sound. Both stages can accommodate approximately 50 guests. This allows directors, cinematographers, editors, colorists, and other professionals to experience a true cinematic working environment.
The 8K IWA LED cinema display is ideal for both high dynamic range and standard dynamic range color grading, while Onyx, the world’s first DCI-certified cinema LED display, is perfect for HDR color grading and mastering. These displays outperform standard digital cinema projection systems in terms of detail, contrast and brightness, positioning Culver Post at the forefront of cinematic technology and ensuring that the studio is future-proofed for future advancements in post-production technology.
“Samsung is committed to using innovative display technology to revolutionize the way that content is created and consumed,” said David Phelps, head of the display division, Samsung Electronics America. “The new Culver Post post-production studio marks a tangible milestone in the future of cinema and post-production. Filmmakers and creators can now edit and experience video content as it would be seen and heard on the big screen to enable immersive storytelling that leaves a lasting impact on audiences.”
