Debenham Media Group is proud to offer 100% progressive-scan high definition transfers of 8mm, 16mm, and 35mm motion picture film. Whether you have a feature film, television series, or amateur home movies, we transfer your film using the same 2K scanning resolution used to digitize Hollywood feature films. 2K scanning is higher resolution than 1920x1080p.
With our high definition video transfers, there is absolutely no interlacing, no blended frames, and no pull-down. We do not use pseudo-HD formats like HDV or Blu-Ray. These formats are highly compressed, and their maximum data rate is less than half that of Motion JPEG-A files, the most compressed format we offer. Why bother with a high definition scan if you don't get high definition back?
Your 1080p film transfer will be delivered on hard disk in one of several .mov (Quicktime) video formats, and will be viewable on a contemporary PC or Mac. Our tapeless file-based system allows your transfer to be viewed at the same frame rate as the original film, because each original film frame becomes one progressive-scan digital frame.
We scan your film at resolutions exceeding the capacity of 8mm and 16mm film, which means you get all the detail from the original film. Our unique scanning process allows us to deliver 1560x1080p images of 4:3 film (rather than the usual 1440x1080p) without compromising image quality.
Our high definition transfers look like film. There is no synthetic sharpening, which means the harsh edges present in standard definition and other high definition transfers are gone. High definition scanning also allows our colorists a greater range of correction options, which means missed exposure can be more accurately compensated for, and color saturation can be more vibrantly restored. |
