Speaking about his appointment at NMF, Mendez said, â€œColorfront products deliver peerless performance in file-conversion and mastering for digital cinema, OTT and high-end TV production and post. I am certain their winning combination of cutting-edge software, color and image science, plus continual R&D, will be of significant appeal to our customers and the challenges they face in fast and efficient UHD/HDR/IMF turnarounds.”

Aron Jaszberenyi, managing director of Colorfront, commented, â€œWe have experienced great success in Hollywood, especially in high-end studio feature, OTT and broadcast entertainment, where NMF-Colorfront directly address immediate IMF and HDR mastering needs, particularly the dynamic demand for ever-faster delivery, and all that this requires.
