Prime Focus Technologies Touts Lionsgate CLEAR Usage for Oscars (MESA)

Following its wins at the 89th Academy® Awards, Lionsgate has received congratulations from Prime Focus Technologies, whose CLEAR™ SecureScreener and DAX® applications were used for screeners and workflow management for Lionsgate films, three of which have won a total of 9 awards. The list of landmark titles includes ‘Hacksaw Ridge’, ‘Manchester by the Sea*’ as well as ‘La La Land’ which received 5 awards, including the award for Best Director.

SecureScreener, the industry’s first fully secure screener application, is a part of PFT’s flagship product CLEAR Media ERP. Using CLEAR’s unbreakable Secure Player, SecureScreener provides Lionsgate with a substitute to DVD, enabling them to deliver a safe, high-quality viewing experience to users across a variety of devices. The application eliminates the fear of piracy as well as the logistical hassle of shipping DVD screeners, and offers access to content anytime, anywhere.

SecureScreener also provides instant feedback with audits of who has viewed, shared and downloaded watermarked content. The patented DAX® with Digital Dailies® technology has been the leading Digital Dailies solution for over a decade now.

“PFT would like to congratulate the entire team of Lionsgate on their prestigious wins. We are privileged to have played a small part of their amazing success,” said Patrick Macdonald-King, President, Americas, Prime Focus Technologies. “Our goal is to leverage technology to streamline creative processes and provide studios like Lionsgate with greater control over their content than ever before.”
