Technology for “Big Resolution” Solutions

Kirk A. Law

There are many goals in the world of digital image manipulation. A few years ago, it was thought that real-time film manipulation would be a long way off. The push for the many DTV resolutions has caused many to dream of digital film mastering and “publishing” to the respective distribution formats. But, handling film in a manner that is common place for standard resolution video requires an understanding and appreciation of the acquisition, movement, processing/manipulation, previewing, and handling various output or data “publishing” methods. What does it mean to have a system and applications that are scalable and support scalable resolutions so that the artist “could” use similar systems for standard resolution through film resolution work? How close are we?
