Today, the Glendale facility not only sets the pace in feature mastering for D-Cinema and home distribution, but also provides a wide array of support services like film scanning, film recording, down conversions, QC, and duplication to almost any video or electronic file format. Modern also provides a 33 seat D-Cinema theatre with a Stewart 24 foot micro-perf screen.

"The experience of color correcting Ghosts of the Abyss, in real time on the big screen in HD is a dream come true for me. After two decades of cursing the vagaries of photochemestry while color timing my films, it feels like we have rocketed out of medieval times into the 21st century. I really enjoyed working in Modern VideoFilm's big theater, which exactly reproduces the size and feel of a movie theater, and correcting the color on my film at the touch of a trackball. And not only changing color, but hue and black values and contrast, and so on, and with power windows, actually changing the color in certain areas of the shots.Working in the data environment, going from Inferno to I-Q to Da Vinci, we have performed hundreds of subtle manipulations to the shots without loss or noise being added, and the end result is as crisp and clean as the camera original. And to top it off, we've found that what we see on the big screen at Modern VideoFilm translates perfectly to film without requiring scene to scene corrections at the printing stage, even in IMAX. So it has been a slam dunk success of an experience."

- James Cameron
