With the latest 4K Dolby® Vision™ 6P laser projectors, along with HDR projection by Barco, Park Road has the capability for grading in SDR, EDR and Dolby® 2D, 3D, and HDR by Barco. We are the only facility in the Southern Hemisphere to offer all formats under one roof. Our team of online editors, stereoscopic artists and colourists operate across three projected DI theatres, two HDR grading suites and numerous online and offline suites on fast, robust and efficient platforms. Powerful images need powerful technology, as we discovered during development of The Hobbit trilogy HFR 3D pipeline. Drawing on our reputation for exceptional colour management and accuracy, our Picture team is experienced and creative, ensuring the technology does not get in the way of the filmmaker’s vision.

Having once housed New Zealand's premier film laboratory on-site, the Park Road team has retained their passion and knowledge for restoration and digitisation of historic titles. The Restoration department works with a comprehensive suite of software and hardware to provide full film and digital re-mastering and restoration services, utilising the latest in dirt and scratch correction, grain reduction, picture enhancement and colour grading technology. Recently installed is a Lasergraphics Director 10K film scanner, further proof of the facilities commitment to quality and full-circle restoration services. The ground-breaking restoration on Peter Jackson’s ‘Get Back’, ‘They Shall Not Grow Old’ and more recently the Beatles ‘Let It Be’ are perfect examples of Park Road’s restoration work.
