Conga film recorder software


Recommended Posts

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!

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
