I have been told that frame-by-frame scanning of film produces the best results. How does your system compare? A. As the name implies, frame scanning is a process that captures each complete film frame one at a time. The individual frames are then stitched together to reassemble the movie producing a totally flicker free video. This is a slow process using very expensive equipment therefore commanding a much higher price for this type of transfer. Our transfers are performed in real time with flicker being avoided by careful speed selection of the projector and camera. The quality of the frame scanned image is slightly sharper than the optical system we utilize as the film is not projected through a series of lenses that can soften the transfer very slightly. An advantage using our real time transfer is when sound also needs to be transferred. This allows full synchronization of the audio track which is very important when someone is speaking into the camera. Frame scanners need to record the audio separately and reassemble it in a non linear editing system. This again is more work and added expense.
