what we see in the studio, is what you see on location

In keeping with our mission to provide superior technology to ensure our clients get the best product and service, Alter Ego is pleased to announce the premier of Studio Link.

The first of its kind in Canada, Studio Link is a portable, colour-calibrated video system, providing interactive participation in any colour grading or online session at Alter Ego from a remote location.

Studio Link is a "plug-and-play" system, with simple step-by-step instructions that will permit even the most non-technical client to be up and running in minutes. For the busy, mobile client, Studio Link can also be accessed directly from a laptop.

Studio link allows you to participate
in your colour or online session,
even if you're busy at the office
or on location in another country.

Having pioneered the digital workflow in Toronto, we believe that it's the only way to go. Put simply, our digital workflow means grading in sequence and no more roll changes. It also opens the door for a more creative session, with unlimited layers and "windows" of any shape or size.

Our Northlight scanner is an industry leader providing clean sharp images of optimum quality up to 8K resolution. At Alter Ego we believe that the best tools should be available to our artists, and our clients. Quality has no room for compromise.
