Abstract: Mastering and archiving of film material for video distribution was discussed now for a long time. Today, where the three independent worlds film, video and the computer industry growing together, it makes sense to think about a new philosophy in archiving and mastering film for TV and multimedia applications. This paper proposes instead of individual film transfers for each of the different TV standards an electronic representation of the film original which allows to generate all desired output variants. The film has to be transferred only once, not twice. The performance of high resolution realtime CCD film scanner technology, computer signal processing power and disk storage systems makes this new philosophy happen. In addition the paper outlines the advantages of transferring film into an independent data format instead of a dedicated video standard. Furthermore it describes a system proposal for this mastering and archiving concept and the necessary equipment.
