Cine Solutions we found a partner with profound technical expertise combined
with a wide range of experience and high aesthetical standards. Severin Rüegg,
Swiss Armed Forces Film Archive
CINE Solutions are now able to offer expert scanning of 65/70mm film
using the Cintel Millennium 2 Machine in the U.K.
I just wanted to let you and your members know that we run a 70mm Telecine
in Harlow Essex – A Cintel Millennium 2 – in fact we are all ex Cintel
engineers and provide telecine services around the world.
The company was originally set up by the engineers to continue the
worldwide support and service for all Cintel built machines, following
its demise in 2012. Since then we have started to get enquiries for high
quality film scanning of all kinds, but are seeing a growing interest in
70mm film to 2k and 4k data from European archives.
We have also recently started transferring some 70mm films for people and
are looking to make it more widely known that we can transfer to SD/HD/2k
and 4K. The fact that we all know the machines very well, means that we can
ensure the very best can be obtained from the film by tuning the telecine as
necessary.
Our latest project came from the vast film archives of the Swiss armed
forces:
"Fortress of Peace". We did it from a faded
70mm print to 2k. We are just about to start work on 2 more for a German
client.
The ‘Millennium 2’ 70mm kit allows the telecine to scan both 65mm and 70mm
from 5 perf to 15 perf IMAX – although the IMAX format is limited to HD. All
other ‘non-rotated’ formats can also be scanned to 2k or 4K.
What’s the difference between 2k and 4k?
•
A typical 2k file, that is 2046 pixels by 1556 lines is often preferred to
HD, not only for the slight but significant resolution improvement but also
for the more suitable aspect ratio. A 2k scan has an individual frame file
size of approximately 12MB. 2k can be scanned at 15fps.
•
A Typical 4K file, that is 4098 pixels by 3112 lines gives you a digital
file size of 50 MB per frame and can be scanned at the slower rate of 3.75
fps. 4K is generally regarded as having the capacity to capture virtually a
clone of the original negative film frame in 35mm.

benefits of 4k over 2k
in terms of resolution and capture of the grain structure.

The
70mm Telecine "Cintel Millennium 2" large format scanner
“An international crew shot the film on 65MSC for three screens with
an overall size of 420 m2. It was directed by John Fernhout who won an
Oscar with his subsequent film ("Sky over Holland"). After the
exhibition, the film could also be hired in a revised form for
presentation on one screen. The original exhibition version was
rediscovered only last year. Digitalisation has become inevitable to
enable viewing the film in its original form –simultaneously on three
screens. In Cine Solutions we found a partner with profound technical
expertise combined with a wide range of experience and high aesthetical
standards.
Photographs in the snow with a strong red tinge, but also very dark
trick shots with smoke and cross fading are very demanding as regards
primary colour correction, which Cine Solution met to our greatest
satisfaction. As always when dealing with special cases and the film
rolls are the only remaining copies of the film, a trustworthy, pleasant
and constructive approach is of great value. Therefore, at the human
level too, we have greatly appreciated collaborating with Cine
Solutions.”
