Cintel Showcases New Scanner and Data Grain Management at IBC 2009
posted on 3rd Sep 2009
Cintel will showcase the new diTTo evolution film scanner and the networkable noise and grain mangement tool imageMIll2 at the IBC exhibition on stand 7.B35.
diTTo evolution is close to production release and is currently being Beta tested at Pictorion Das Werk in Berlin.
diTTo evolution offers a modular and upgradeable solution to film scanning. Building on the successful elements of the renowned diTTo scanner including unequalled image performance, easy to use Interface and the famous D/SCO - Dust/Scratch Concealment option, diTTo evolution additionally provides a fast shuttle capability, non-pin registration mode for archive scanning and a 3.2D density range.
diTTo evolution is a solution to all film scanning needs. It can evolve from a simple-to-use, pin registration scanner for Digital Intermediate with superb image quality from Negative Film, to a multi-format, non-pin registration machine for shrunken and damaged film including a 3.2D density range for excellent Print film results.
imageMill2 is a new image processing platform adding network capabilities and data file management to the existing imageMill capabilities. GRACE the noise and film grain management tool will be available at the point of delivery in late 2009 with STEADY, the real time image stabilisation application and a new Dust/Scratch Concealment option following later.
imageMill2 will address the industries need for a powerful yet simple to use Noise and Grain management tool for Digital Intermediate applications processing HD and 2K in real time and 4K at approx. 10fps.
The original imageMill will remain available for all customers with real time SD HD video or HSDL data workflows. Both GRACE and STEADY will work in real time HD4:4:4 with only a single frame of delay. To help our customers in the current financial climate, we have reduced the price of a fully configured imageMill to just £30,000.
The MillenniumHD machine will be shown being controlled by Pandora’s Pogle complete with T3 control panel. We will be showing the deep, filmic images that can only be obtained from a CRT-based system. We will also be showing ultra-stable, near pin registration, images courtesy of the new X-Speed Digital Servo System.
MillenniumHD is the only film scanner capable of scanning 8mm/S8mm/MAX8mm, 16mm/S16mm, 35mm/S35mm and 65/70mm film to SD HD 2K and 4K resolution.
