- Abstract
- The increasing use of electronic digital projection technology for the large-screen digital imaging (LSDI) of motion pictures and digital and HD video, has prompted interest in comparing the resolution achieved by LSDI displays with traditional 35mm motion picture film optical projected displays. In order to serve as a reference point for such comparisons, tests were made to determine the end-to-end resolution performance of 35mm cinema film from the 35mm negative to the final screen display. It is expected that the test results will be useful in determining for each LSDI application whether a resolution higher, lower, or equal to 35mm film optical projection is required. The paper summarizes the 35mm test procedures employed and the objective and subjective results obtained.

bio
Vittorio Baroncini was born in Genoa, Italy, on January 23, 1948. He gained a Laurea in Physics at Rome University in 1974, discussing a thesis on digital filters. In 1986, he joined Fondazione Ugo Bordoni were he worked on digital TV design and later moved to the quality-assessment department. He is chairman of the Test Group of ISO/JEC-SC29WG11 (MPEG), chairman of the ITU-R WP 6Q, co-chairman of TG 6/9 (D-Cinema), and an active member of VQEG (Video Quality Expert Group). Baroncini's main research activities are the study of new video test methodologies (D-Cinema, DTV, and multimedia services) and the objective quality-assessment of video related to the quality of services. He is the author of several technical papers presented at conferences and for journal publication, mainly related to video quality assessment issues.Henry Mahlerbio
Henry (Hank) Mahler is associate director, advanced technology, in the engineering department of CBS, in New York City. He is currently responsible for the evaluation, testing, development, and implementation of new broadcast television technology, equipment, and systems for the CBS Television network. Mahler has been with CBS since his graduation from Stevens Institute of Technology in 1960. Until 1986, he worked at CBS Laboratories R&D facility in Stamford, CT, where he was involved in pioneering work on HDTV, as well as the first slow-motion recorder, CBS Action Track, and field-sequential cameras for the Apollo moon missions. Mahler is a Fellow of SMPTE, former chairman of the SMPTE Working Group on Television Applications, and has published the results of HDTV and film resolution tests in the SMPTE Journal , as well as tutorials on TV resolution.Matthieu Sintasbio
Matthieu Sintas is the acquisition and creation department moderator of the Commission Supérieure Technique (CST), a center of audiovisual expertise for the French administration. During his career, he developed the French experimentation on digital cinema. He is a member of the Board of the EDCF (European Digital Cinema Forum) and writer of several technical articles. - Copyright
