About

Cinenet is Australia’s only high-speed broadband data network created specifically for screen media industries. It breaks the barrier of distance by providing a shared, connected infrastructure for studios, producers, editing facilities, visual effects providers, sound facilities and DVD producers.

Using secure, high-speed broadband connectivity, Cinenet gives you;

• the fastest means available of moving huge datasets containing dailies and scans, motion capture, sound and effects around the globe, or even just down the street,
• the ability to bring together multiple local and international locations to a single, secure communication fabric,
• a range of options such as videoconferencing, video streaming, Voice over IP, transfer of film rushes and scans, and collaboration tools like cineSync; software which allows simultaneous viewing of footage in multiple locations.

Productions that have already put Cinenet to use include Terminator: Salvation, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Happy Feet 2, The Harry Potter series, Batman Begins, Lord of the Rings: Return of the King and many others.

“Suddenly, the opportunities all open up…. you’re operating in an environment where distance does not matter – that’s the whole idea of a virtual studio… and that’s what Cinenet’s about.”
Mario Andreacchio, Elephant Tales

“We transmit the files, and hour later sit down and disccuss that (with remote collaborators) – you can see the body language, the reactions of the person on the other side, not just rely on emails or telephones – it’s invaluable.”
Bruno Mattarollo, Charlotte’s Web

“We started out thinking we’d use this between three sites, and I think we ended up sending it between up to 20… it was easy to set up anybody, any time.”
Dave Birrell, No Reservations
