Using 35 mm Digital Intermediate to Provide 70 mm Quality in Theaters – A Progress Report

We report progress on research into film based Digital Intermediate or Data-centric systems. Our goal is a cinema delivery system that provides onscreen cinema quality that is superior to today's 35 mm quality. A system that consistently provides across all theaters, improved realism or classic looks, and can also enable new looks, artistic and special effects. Furthermore, we seek to eliminate perceptible digital artifacts and improve productivity in post-production. We also outline a two variable method for conceptually assessing the overall performance of digital systems and report on some capabilities provided by algorithms created in support of this research.
