Alvernia Studios installs MillenniumHD in new film scanning suite
posted on 26th Jul 2010
Space Age Studio Facility, Alvernia Studios near Krakow, Poland have installed a High Definition MillenniumHD ‘data-cine’ from Cintel.
After extensive testing and evaluation of many film scanning solutions, Alvernia Studios chose Cintel’s MillenniumHD ‘data-cine’ film scanner fitted with 16mm and 35mm film gates, SD and HD video outputs and coupled with a Pandora Pogle controller to provide a full Digital Dailies solution.
Digital Intermediate Technician and Colourist Glen Castinho explained ‘We reviewed a number of telecine and data-cine systems to be able to match our needs and giving us the flexibility beyond just Dailies with high quality images. Only MillenniumHD gave us the right combination of image quality, speed and flexibility. The internal colour correction is extremely powerful too and having a future upgrade path to 2K and 4K resolutions, at speeds up to 15fps, was also very important to us. In addition to this, Cintel was able to provide a ‘turn-key’ system with the Pandora Controller and other essential equipment all installed at the same time’.
Simon Carter, Cintel’s Sales Director, commented; ‘Alvernia Studios is a magnificent facility, the first new total studio facility that has been built for many years and kitted out with the highest quality equipment. All housed in some stunning space-age architecture. We’re extremely proud to partner with Alvernia Studios and be part of this exciting project’.
