Abstract: Film and video co-exist in the television environment. With the transition to digital widescreen, high definition, and digital film resolution, the importance of film becomes even more significant. It has many advantages as an image capture medium, with resolution well beyond high definition; a colorimetric capture range that greatly exceeds any video capture device; and a 50-year archive for digital television and high definition. Film scanning at high resolutions is a precise science, so it is no longer acceptable to invest in a scanner that only samples standard or high definition and generates all other resolutions by interpolation. An available film scanner must sample the film at many resolutions rather than one fixed convenient one, and it has become clear that compromises in resolution and bit depth will be apparent in today's imaging media. This paper describes a film scanner designed to meet the demands for the high-quality imagery from all 35mm and 16mm film content.
