Film Scanning for DTV and Beyond
The age of digital television (DTV) is here now: standard definition and high definition. Film entertainment will form by far the greatest source of material for these transmissions. This paper explains both the benefits of film sourced material and some of the pitfalls that can occur when considering methods to transfer film images to DTV. The issues of both widescreen films and widescreen TV are covered as well as the matter of whether to generate a single digital (video) master or provide individual telecine transfers for each standard.
