Kodak Advances Film And Hybrid Technologies At IBC 2006

Kodak is highlighting an array of advances in film and hybrid postproduction technologies at IBC on September 12.
The company is showcasing the Kodak VISION2 HD System, which is designed to enhance both creative flexibility and efficiency in television production. Other demonstrations will feature the latest software versions of the Kodak Look Manager and Kodak Display Manager Systems.
Kim Snyder, General Manager of Worldwide Origination Products for Kodak’s Entertainment Imaging Division commented: “The convergence of advances in film and hybrid technologies is giving the filmmaking community the creative flexibility it desires along with greater control over the visuals throughout the entire postproduction process.”
The Kodak exhibit features an array of film images recorded on Kodak VISION2 16 and 35 mm films that will be projected at the stand. Some images were recorded on the most recent addition to the Kodak VISION2 family of films. Kodak VISION2 50D 5201/7201 colour negative film is optimised to capture high-contrast images in either bright, natural sunlight or artificial 5500 degrees Kelvin daylight.
Enhancements to the system’s hardware platform incorporated earlier this year include improvements that make the system more versatile and efficient, easier to switch between telecine suites at a facility, along with emulating additional film looks such as black and white and various photo-chemical processes.
KDMS enables postproduction facilities to more efficiently emulate film looks on electronic display devices using an automatic calibration function. The latest version of KDMS allows users to import print film 3-D LUTS into cinema-grade digital projectors, which enables accurate viewing and grading. The KDMS includes proprietary software and an easy-to-use monitor calibration sensor. The system incorporates Kodak colour science technology, and it can be used for CRT, LCD, standard- and high-definition monitors to emulate the look of images recorded out to Kodak print films.
KDM and KLMS are compatible tools, which can also be integrated with the Kodak VISION2 HD System.
The exhibit also showcases the new Aaton XTRprod2 and ARRI 416 cameras. These innovative 16 mm cameras offer advanced functionality coupled with a lightweight design. They include a range of creative options for filmmakers utilising advances made in film technology. Kodak will be exhibiting at stand 829.
The Kodak Entertainment Imaging Division is the world-class leader in providing film, digital and hybrid motion imaging products, services, and technology for the television, feature film, commercial, music video and documentary industries.
