HD FXF ZI
 

HD Super 8 / 8mm Film transfer. High Definition Blue Ray BD DVD from Super 8 / 8mm

 

HD has arrived at the DVD Transfer Centre late in 2008.


Late in 2008 Avid Tech's DVD Transfer Centre is the first company in Australia to offer true frame by frame HD telecine services with the FXF sytem enhanced

for Zero Interface HD transfer of super 8 and 8mm home movies to BD DVD.


HD FXF ZI


Under development as we write, FXFZI for HD film transfer will privide some unique

systems and capture technology that will allow us to capture in uncompressed .avi directly from the film emulsion without conversion or capture cards.

Has arrived.




Unlike our SD transfers HD is limited capacity and studio time is in short supply-book early to aviud disapointment.


As and when we can do so all our telecine machines will be replaced by HD Telecine as the only telecine equipment we will use. Don't worry films can go to DVD or Blu-ray.




HDMI is a great developmental leap forward integrating and offering a direct HD video from BD players directly to your LCD or Plasma TV. Avid Tech will be using specialised adaptations of HDMI within the computer system to capture directly to our unique multi array FXF (frame cross flow) proceesing of the captured HD frames to enusre no lost frames and no digital atefacts. The image quality and colour depth is breathtaking compared to even our advanced FXF SD production that have been our mainstay for years.


Testing to date on converntional high end computers has proven that is will not be

a simple adaptation of a high performance computing soloution off the rack.


Avid Tech are currently building a purpose built design for our HD PC.

The HD PC will have some awesome specs such as Quad Core CPU Intel E9550 is the starting chip,large 4Gig high speed memory running at 1066 mhz or higher.


7 Hard Disks are required in our design to meet the extraordinary amount of data

generated by HD film scanning. Made up of 2 RAID arrays and a 10,000 RPM system disk to keep up with our processing capability and also ensure maximum

efficency and productivity as the HD format will take a lot longer to convert than traditional Standard Defiftion.



Stunning future Technology is at hand


The second generation is currently under development using the Intel i7 core technology, we anticipate a great leap forward in priductivity and ultimate quality systems will evolve due to our on going research and development policy.


Avid Tech has been the leader in telecine add on systems and others are way behind using 5 year old technologies and office hack computers. Avid Tech purpose builds computing and sofftware soloutions for the best cutting edge technology available, we never settle for less than the best nor should you. The digital workstations we use are dedicated and purpose built so you know we are committed to excellemce and quality.


HD ZI - Zero Interface Development


Much of the enhancements we have developed for our FXF standard defifintion systems will be inforporated into our new HD ZI system but with out the cpature

AD/DV converter and other hardware that will not work with HD video from film.


We will adapt our frame cross flow processing into the hard disk arrays and utilise some of the moost advanced codec re write for our SD transfer into a re write and programming of our COV codec enhancement. COV (Clarity of Vision) is an enhancememt to ensure black and high shadow detail along with finer rendition of colours and higher general detail, this codec is now in daily use having passed the beta testomg.


The final version marked the release  of HD BD film transfers from super 8 and 8 mm and 16mm movie films.



The wait is over-no more wait list, HD Telecine is avaiable now



HD FXF costs a little more than SD trasfers and since the cost of BD media is still sky high that cost will have to be passed on.


We anticipate the cost of media will fall in due course, you can save a lot of money by having your HD files delivered on your own USB external drive for viewing with a digital PVR as some have the option available.



As more relevant information and samples become availabe we will post them to  HD Telecine.
