New KODAK DIGITAL ICE Technology for Motion Picture Film lets you dust bust while you scan — improving overall efficiency and predictability within the postproduction workflow.
KODAK DIGITAL ICE Technology works from within the scanner to detect and reduce dust and surface scratches without softening, blurring, or altering the image. A tri-level defect matte is generated, depicting pixels that have been altered and defects that require additional attention. So, if a defect is found that is greater than what can be corrected by the system, DIGITAL ICE Technology will identify it so the post house can easily locate and address the issue.
How it Works:
- User selects whether correction and/or defect map should be generated.
- Infrared channel detects dirt and scratches on the film while scanning.
- A defect map is generated indicating the location of the defects.
- Advanced pixel operation, utilizing Kodak algorithms, eliminates or substantially reduces defects while scanning.
