diTTo at first beta site!
posted on 6th Sep 2005
diTTo the new scanner from Cintel due to be launched at IBC 2005 has been undergoing testing at its first Beta Site, The Ascent Media Group, London. Ascent Media a global organisation is using diTTo for evaluating their future requirements for digital intermediate.
Ascent Media was chosen due to the diversity of work carried out within its London facilities. OnePost/Soho Images were the first to trial diTTo, being driven remotely from their DI control room; this is the only London facility with full film printing lab facilities. The feedback has been positive, comparing diTTo more than favourably to other scanners, leading to diTTo being used for a ‘paying' commercial for a high-end car manufacturer.
diTTo is subsequently being tested at St Anne's Post, primarily for their restoration market and is due to be evaluated by other companies within Ascent Media in London including Rushes Post Production.
diTTo, a Super 2K & 4K data centric scanning system has been developed specifically for high quality efficient film scanning. The versatility of diTTo means it is suited for all applications from high end DI and special effects through to archiving and restoration. With the data market demanding both quality and speed without being cost prohibitive diTTo represents the next generation data scanning solution. diTTo uses cutting edge digital film acquisition technology to ensure the highest image quality and repeatability. diTTo utilises a 3 colour light source and solid state low noise detection device to produce high resolution, repeatable results. diTTo incorporates a PC GUI to make the management of the scanning process and the delivery of the image files a straightforward process.
