FILM RESTORATION

Film restoration is also part of the performance spectrum of scanwerk. Restoration does not only mean to repair film material, but also to reawaken the look, therefore combining the zeitgeist of a past era and intentions with new aspects of quality. Scanwerk has made restorations for Wim Wenders, John Woo, the Fassbinder Foundation, Til Schweiger and many more. It is primarily about digitalisation and the construction of high-quality masters for broadcasting or streaming and DVD/BluRay utilisation in 4K. Film restoration is a comprehensive process that requires a superior degree of attention to details. Material is closely inspected for any imperfections such as perforations, scratches, rips, wrinkles etc., which are then digitally processed and corrected to produce the best possible output. Specific filters shall be employed based on particular scenes to retain detailed information.

DCP MASTERING

“The heart of your DI” is also known as the jack-of-all-trades device in our house. We use Clipster for transcoding, rendering, decoding and encoding of all codecs and formats. In the broadcast and post production industries, it is known worldwide as the most reputable hardware managing encoding procedures, that allows you to scan from 16mm and 35mm material in HD, 2K and 4K resolutions. Digital Cinema Package: Scanwerk produces the digital distribution copy in MXF on the basis of parameters given by the cinema or TV broadcaster and the delivered digital data. We create stereoscopic Digital Cinema Packages (DCP) with the latest generation of Clipster, which is considered as the hardware gold standard for managing encoding procedures. In Hollywood, by the way, only hardware encoding procedures are accepted.
