We hear more & more about the digital film laboratory as the new direction for the film processing industry. What precisely do we mean by digital film laboratory? It does not mean, film is dead, long live video. On the contrary, film is the only high quality origination medium with a global standard. This makes film the preferred medium for shooting when a production is targeting an international market; the new 2000 series of Colormaster enables you to help productions meet these targets.
You can grade more efficiently and cost effectively with new features that include, a flat screen data monitor, redesigned lamp housing, stainless steel rollers, full frame moving picture can be seen, regardless of film transport speed, unlimited frame store, keycode numbers can be read automatically, cue FCC and grade colour in one simple operation. Use autograde facility to find optimum grading
quickly and efficiently. Cue and grade video rushes exactly as for making film rushes, then rewind the negative and make transfer to video with scene by scene colour correction.
Make scene by scene light changes on internegative to fine-tune the release print. Use the split screen facility to match multiple internegatives. All of these facilities make it easy for graders and DOPs to work closely together to get the results needed by clients.
HAZELMASTER DIGITAL UPGRADE for the Hazeltine 200H
• High-res 3-cell CCD imaging system
• Digitised RGB signal processing
• Grade all film types
• Computer calibration
The Hazelmaster uses the same electronics and software as the full Colormaster series of analysers, which have set the standard for accuracy, stability and reliability. The main features, which are at the heart of this outstanding performance are, a high resolution 3-cell CCD imaging system, which converts the film image to video. The CCD head is extremely stable requiring none of the regular maintenance associated with flying spot scanner and photo multipliers of the Hazeltine system.
The RGB video signals are digitised; all signal processing and colour control is performed digitally on the digital video. This eliminates sources of drift and instability inherent in analogue systems. Computer calibration
ensures the closest match between the analyser image and the printed results. It also allows more precise signal processing to create an accurate representation of the film characteristics. The Hazelmaster 2000H gives you very good service and it is a low cost alternative to the Colormaster series.
