Abstract
At the SMPTE ‘97 Conference in Sydney, the concept of representing motion picture film images in a universal data format was presented. Since then, the enabling technology has met with widespread acceptance, with over 140 units of the core product installed worldwide. In addition, several key building blocks have been added by the same supplier to extend the film-in-data concept, allowing the full power and flexibility of computer workstations (coupled with tremendous hardware acceleration) to be applied to the creative and post-production processes. The successful data concept can even be “tunnelled” through the high-definition video domain, allowing the major benefits of the data process to be achieved in realtime using low cost video tape storage. This paper examines these advances and illustrates some of the real world applications for this new technology.

  • 17. Two kinds of prefiltering are encountered in television image sensing; both progressive scan and interlaced scan sensors require optical prefiltering in both horizontal and vertical directions to prevent aliasing between high-frequency optical image information and the sensor or scanner pixel/line structure; where it is known that the reproduction of the image will use a display operating in an interlaced mode, this is a further resampling in the vertical axis; the additional vertical filtering that is required could be applied after the sensor (but before the display), but it has been common practice to apply this secondary filtering at the same time as the primary anti-aliasing filtering in the sensor. This technique cannot be used for segmented-frame image sensing—the secondary filtering must be associated only with interlaced displays in the instances these are used, otherwise vertical resolution is lost unnecessarily when the same image is displayed with progressive scanning.
