Film Scanning for HD Post Production and Beyond

Film and video co-exist in the television environment. As we move forward to high definition the role of film becomes even more significant. Film has many advantages as an image capture medium namely, definition well beyond HDTV, a colormetric capture range that exceeds any video signal, and a ready 50 year archive for HDTV transfer. — C-Reality, Cintel's new film scanner has been designed to meet the demand for the highest quality imagery from all 35mm and 16mm film content, be it 525/625, HDTV or real 2K, without compromise. This paper will describe C-Reality and how it has broken the SD and HD ‘video’ barrier to take users into the ‘image data’ world.
