How it's done:- Each frame is stopped and scanned by a triple CCD high definition (HD), recording 1080 picture lines, chipset and transferred to a computer as a digital file where it is checked and enhanced. The high definition film capture enables us to capture each frame at its optimum quality. We remove any blank sections from your home movies, add music and titles if desired and output to whichever format you require. Our cine to DVD & Video service produces excellent results. There is no flicker or centre hotspot with our cine processing method.
If necessary colour correction and film grading is undertaken by our film technician during the enhancement stage. This is free of charge and ensures a quality restoration of colour balance over each full frame of your film. More detailed information about our telecine service can be found here
Examples of captured film frames from our frame by frame scan system can be found here.
