35mm Solitaire Cine V - FILM RECORDER (3K, 10bit LOG)

Television commercials increasingly find their way onto the cinema screen. Domino delivers superb quality video-to-film transfers.

Sophisticated motion interpolation removes unwanted artifacts such as field flicker from video sourced material when going from any 25 or 30 fps clip to a resized 24fps film master. After the up-resolution has been performed, colour recalculation for true film colour-space and high resolution titling may be added before the digital footage is put onto negative.

Domino delivers the highest quality for several reasons. Much of the television advertising originates on film and is converted to digital data via high quality Telecine. From this point, the material remains in the full bandwidth 601 digital domain. Careful signal handling offered by Quantel systems such as Henry, Edit box and Hal guarantee loss free progress through to the finished result in 601 digital video format and these principals have been further developed for high-resolution digital film applications. Television distribution systems to the home dramatically reduce quality, but because the material was originated on film and remains in the 601 digital domain, there is far more quality inherent in the images than can be experienced on domestic or even professional television. Transferring material into Domino using D16 or quicksilver networking and applying Domino’s superb multi point, bi-cubic interpolation means full advantage can be taken of all the image information to create a cinema resolution film transfer, at a quality equal to material that has remained in the film domain throughout production. Domino is fully compatible with custom written Java applications or “plug-ins”, so further enhancing Domino’s flexibility.

With Domino, most problems that occur during shooting can be fixed in post-production, saving costs, extending flexibility and giving the film maker the power to release every facet of their vision.
