  1. Yes, again a highly compressed "web" sample that does not allow an analysis of the quality. I do see a problem with contrast here - absolute lack of detail in the shadows, at the same time blown up heights. I do not know the stock used, but I don't thing this is "all" that's on the film. Is "not bad" good enough?
  2. Hi Kent, can you post the last two samples unscaled, non post-processed, non compressed (or ProRes compressed) on your website? The samples cannot really be analyzed as they are.
  3. Bringing this old post to live again... I just got a test film scanned with a FlashScan HD. Sorry to say, but the quality of the scan is terrible. I'd say the FlashScan captures only half of the dynamic on the film. Noise, no detail at all at shadows, blown up sky. Sharpness is not bad, but not as good as it should be. Colors are very good (3CCD!) Also, Mr. Langdell, the information the FlashScan can do 1080 is not correct: the camera can output true 720p or SCALED 1080p. I got this information directly from a sales rep. at a fair in Germany. Now, didn't you know that when you said it can do 1080p, or didn't you think it's important to mention? Mark
  4. I see the Hitachi HV-D30 is used for the FlashScan SD (at leat the MK I). What camera is used on the FlashScan HD?
  5. I just saw the prospect of the FlashScan HD. There's no mention about 1080i in there. Can the new FlashScan do it, or only 720p? I wonder how the FlashScan manages motion blur. This must be a pretty quick exposure. Yes, I'd like to know that too.
  6. Wow - that's a lot! Much more than any current CCD sensor can do. But what about old films from the 30's to 80's, what's their typical dynamic range? Is there any list of film stock vs dynamic range? Regards Mark
  7. What's the maximum dynamic range of Normal 8 and Super 8 film? Or, how much dynamic range should a CCD sensor have in order to capture ALL of the films contrast in one scanning step with a single exposure. I'm thinking about what would be the best way to scan 8mm film and output it to DVD. 1) capture with a high dynamic range CCD device as a 10 or 12 bit file and then adjust each scene for output on NLE or 2) adjust exposure for each scene while scanning I believe the first option would be far more practical if it is really possible to capture all dynamic range at a single exposure. Any thoughts welcome :)
