Abstract: This paper is an end-to-end discussion of calibration in digital film systems, comparing this system to the traditional film duplication process. The characteristics of colour negative films establish the requirements for scanner calibration. Digital versus film display characteristics are reviewed. And finally, the requirements for recorder calibration are described in the context of colour intermediate and print film characteristics.
