NAB 2010: Cintel to ’eliminate the wait’ with new film scanning and image restoration workflows
14 April 2010
Las Vegas - Cintel International showcased its 2K/4K film scanner diTTo evolution at the NAB Show this week. The company also presented its new real-time image restoration engine imageMill2, which promises to "eliminate the wait".
diTTo evolution is the first film scanner to be instantly switchable from pin registration to non-pin registration and also the first film scanner to include film grain management and image stabilisation tools.
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, a non-pin registration mode for archive scanning, imageMill2 processing tools and a 3.2D density range.
Simon Clark, Cintel’s business development manager, commented, “diTTo evolution offers solutions to all film scanning needs. It can evolve from a simple-to-use, calibrated pin registration scanner for Digital Intermediate use with superb image quality to a multi-format, non-pin registration machine for shrunken and damaged film incorporating a full set of image restoration tools.”
Meanwhie, 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 and STEADY, the real time image stabilisation application was also on show at NAB and a new Dust/Scratch Concealment option called ORIGIN, due later in 2010, was also previewed.
Cintel sales director Simon Carter remarked, “imageMill2 will address the industry’s need for a fast yet simple-to-use noise and grain management tool for both data-centric digital intermediate applications and restoration projects within one product. With speeds in excess of 25fps for 2K and HD files, the performance of imageMIll2 is unequalled. We are currently processing 4K files at 10fps and can also deal with SD files at twice real time. With imageMIll2 you can truly ‘eliminate the wait.’"
