    We've come a long way from the early days of color correction, with the current trends leading toward Digital Intermediate (DI). So how will you cross the bridge to DI, gaining the benefits of non-linear operation using existing infrastructure while maintaining compatability with existing workflows? For this transition da Vinci created Splice™ — a “virtual telecine” which allows a linear color corrector to operate as a non-linear device. SPLICE™. VIRTUAL TELECINE FOR NON-LINEAR IMAGE PROCESSING from the genius of Operating as a server based front end for the da Vinci 2K, Splice provides colorists with the types of image processing controls normally associated with a telecine environment, like real-time pan tilt zoom and rotate. fig. 01 _ [ SPLICE ] WORK STATION / SPLASH SCREEN Colorists will make a seamless transition to Splice with its familiar interface on the da Vinci 2K Plus. “VIRTUAL TELECINE” Powered by da Vinci's exclusive Transformer 2K, Splice provides conform enhancements da Vinci offers colorists the advantages of image processor, Splice offers real-time for EDL handling, switching on the fly non-linear color correction and in-context optical quality pan, tilt, zoom and rotate, between source and record order and an add grading with Splice, a new “virtual telecine” coupled with 4:4:4 uncompressed storage handles function for deliverables.

  • FILM FORMATS ------8 Mm Film Is a Motion Picture Film Format in Which the Filmstrip Is Eight Millimeters Wide
    FILM FORMATS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 8 mm film is a motion picture film format in which the filmstrip is eight millimeters wide. It exists in two main versions: regular or standard 8 mm and Super 8. There are also two other varieties of Super 8 which require different cameras but which produce a final film with the same dimensions. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Standard 8 The standard 8 mm film format was developed by the Eastman Kodak company during the Great Depression and released on the market in 1932 to create a home movie format less expensive than 16 mm. The film spools actually contain a 16 mm film with twice as many perforations along each edge than normal 16 mm film, which is only exposed along half of its width. When the film reaches its end in the takeup spool, the camera is opened and the spools in the camera are flipped and swapped (the design of the spool hole ensures that this happens properly) and the same film is exposed along the side of the film left unexposed on the first loading. During processing, the film is split down the middle, resulting in two lengths of 8 mm film, each with a single row of perforations along one edge, so fitting four times as many frames in the same amount of 16 mm film. Because the spool was reversed after filming on one side to allow filming on the other side the format was sometime called Double 8. The framesize of 8 mm is 4,8 x 3,5 mm and 1 m film contains 264 pictures.
