Data Management Systems

Data on a Korean production has to keep pace with the country's taste for high-end formats. ARRIRAW, Sony X-OCN, RED R3D and BRAW arrive together on most feature and commercial sets, and post-studios in Sangam DMC and Paju Studio Cube expect dailies to land fast. Our DIT stations are set up per camera package before the truck rolls out, with checksum-verified offload and triple-redundant backup across separate drives. We run CDL-driven on-set grading tied to the show LUT your colourist supplies. Dedicated runners move between unit and base camp so camera mags clear fast. Detailed chain-of-custody records go with each drive that leaves the set.

The end-of-day handoff is where Korean shoots tend to live or die. Our team runs same-day delivery of verified clones to post houses across the Greater Seoul area, with courier transfers to Busan or Jeju via Korean Air Cargo when units are split. We also cut LTO-8 archive masters for long-form shoots that need a deep, retrievable record once the project wraps.

We tie into your VFX and edit pipelines through standard metadata exports, ALE files for script oversight, and Avid-ready transcodes for offline cutting, all made on set. Five hundred terabytes of production data have moved through our workflows without a frame lost. The same steps apply whether your shoot is a two-day commercial in Seongsu-dong or a sixty-day feature touring the peninsula.

Our rental desk fits each DIT cart to the camera package and the shoot's data load. Stations run fast workstations, calibrated reference monitors, RAID arrays, and a deep pool of camera-format readers for the ARRIRAW, X-OCN, R3D, and BRAW that arrive together on Korean sets. We stock high-capacity transfer drives, LTO-8 decks for archive masters, and spare SSDs and card readers in working quantities. Carts are built to roll into tight palace courtyards or a Seongsu studio bay and to travel to split units in Busan or Jeju.

On-set support runs the length of the schedule. We carry redundant stations and spare drives so a workstation fault never stalls the offload, and an on-call DIT can reach a split unit fast. Each rig is pre-configured against your post specs before delivery, with show LUTs and naming conventions loaded ready. We pre-test transfer speeds for the day's expected volume so a heavy multi-camera drama day clears to backup without a bottleneck at wrap.

Korean mains run at 220V and 60Hz, so every workstation, drive bay, and charger we ship is set for local power, with adapters and tested transformers for visiting kit. We quote DIT packages and operators in Korean Won with the 10 percent VAT itemised, and weekly rates suited to long-form schedules. Qualifying foreign productions can fold data-management costs into a KOFIC incentive claim, and our chain-of-custody records keep that paperwork clean.
