Post, March, 2002
CULVER CITY, Calif. -- MetaFilm (www.metafilmcorp.com) is offering a family of integrated solutions for scanning film to high definition and recording back to film. The company's MetaScan 2000 CCD scanner runs at 6/fps. and offers two simultaneous digital outputs to disk: 2K RGB 30-bit color in the Cineon DPX format and 1920-by-1080 HDTV YUV 4:2:2 16-bit color.
A new edit-mode function scans 24 fps RGB 24-bit color direct to low rez AVI files which are immediately accessible to an offline system. Edit-mode allows editors to rough cut the selects that they want scanned at high definition. MetaScan then automatically scans at high definition, just the clips defined in the EDL.
