Abstract: With the design of the Kodak Vision2 500T/5218 color negative film, a new film technology optimized for both the conventional optical and digital post-production worlds, has been introduced. Though resolution and grain improvements comprise a large part of the advances offered by this new technology, film sensitometry and color reproduction have also been carefully engineered to facilitate improvements in neutral scale control and digital post-production productivity. All of this is made possible by silver halide technologies that significantly reduce grain, and film-building technologies that shape a new standard of photographic performance in a world of digital applications.

bio
David Long joined Kodak in 1997 as a member of the Manufacturing Research and Engineering Organization. In 1998, he moved into his current role as product development engineer with the Entertainment Imaging Division. His primary responsibilities with Kodak include new product development and image science and systems integration for the motion picture product platform. Long joined Kodak after graduating from the University of Texas at Austin with a B.S. in chemical engineering and a M.S. in materials science from the University of Rochester. He is also a graduate of Kodak's Image Science Training Program.
Mike Ryan
bio
Mike Ryan has been involved in research and development of silver halide technologies for consumer, professional, and motion imaging applications at Kodak. He is currently a senior principal scientist with the media and materials platform, coordinating the development of new color negative film products. Prior to his current assignment, Ryan's responsibilities included emulsion research and project management for the EXR, Vision, and Vision2 family of origination films. He joined Kodak in 1986, after graduating from the University of Rochester with a B.S. in chemical engineering.
Roger Morton
bio
Roger R. A. Morton has for many years enjoyed developing electronic and digital image processing technologies. He is currently a Research Fellow at Eastman Kodak, and works on measurement and optimization of cinema and television systems. Morton's Ph.D. in electrical engineering involved some of the earliest research into digital imaging. During his career, he has developed numerous new digital concepts and brought them to market. Recently, he developed new measurements and new measurements tools for the motion picture analysis and has also created and worked on new systems approaches and understandings of motion picture system optimization, including Super 2K Morton is experienced in digital imaging techniques, noise reduction, compression, and 3-D imaging. In recognition of his pioneering and innovative work, Morton has received 69 U.S. patents, and corresponding foreign patents. He is a SMPTE Fellow and has authored 22 published scientific works, including those in the 2002 and 2003 SMPTE Journal. He was a 2003 SMPTE Journal Award recipient.
