Patrick Beveridge Posted July 17, 2020 Posted July 17, 2020 Does anybody know someone ... who might have a Silicon Graphics Indigo computer with the legendary Conga film recorder software installed on it? I'm looking to buy...
Adam Froehlich Posted July 19, 2020 Posted July 19, 2020 Your post made me curious about the digital post-production workflows of yore, but I can't find a single mention of a Conga film recorder software on Google. Does anyone have any resources on what made it legendary, and how it was used? Even plain documentation would be interesting to look through!
Patrick Beveridge Posted July 19, 2020 Author Posted July 19, 2020 Conga was written in Germany in the mid nineties, I guess, and was incrypted onto the hard drives of SGI computers, so it couldn't be copied. It's advantage was that it could send a 16 bit image like a cineon or dpx file to the CRT film recorders of its generation, such as the MGI Solitaire. Apparently it was very good software. Raster plus, by contrast, will only transfer 8 bit image files 1
