Streamlined Archival Film Scanning and Restoration

Advanced film handling and continuing exponential increases in digital processing enables new archival scanning and restoration techniques.

• Triple-Flash High Dynamic Range (HDR)^NEW for best print film shadow detail
• Optical pin registration for best image stability with shrunk and damaged film
• 1 - 11 frames per second scan rate
• 1 - 100 frames per second wind rate
• Accepts film shrinkage up to 2.5%
• Accepts thick splices up to 0.75mm
• Warped film held flat on 4 sides with pressure plate for superior full-frame focus

• Infrared dust and scratch detection/reduction with Kodak's DIGITAL ICE Technology
• Continuously self-calibrating, cool LED light source avoids heat damage to film and
  is diffuse for optical scratch and fingerprint reduction.
• Oversized film scanning aperture
• CCD large format area imager is superior to CMOS imagers and line scanners.
• Built-in dye fade correction and color grading

• 16mm/35mm optical and 16mm magnetic soundtrack readers featuring:
• Automatic alignment
• Simultaneous scanning of image and soundtrack
• Synchronized image and sound output to QuickTime or WAV file
• Reduced frame rate sound scanning for fragile film
• Operates in normal office environment — no special cooling required.
• Enclosed cabinet with positive pressure HEPA filtration avoids dust contamination.
• Power requirements similar to a standard PC workstation.
• No-risk system integration
  As a result of close vendor cooperation, it is now possible for the Director film scanner to send image files directly into the restoration workstation's attached storage at full scanning speed, so that restorative work can begin immediately, without unnecessary and time consuming copy operations.
