Commercials
Most commercials are nished in HD resolution and therefore do not require resolu-
tions higher than 2K. The ARRISCAN Speed3K model features a maximum scanning
resolution of 3K (oversampled to 2K) and is designed for precisely these kinds of
applications. It delivers high end image quality at a superior speed and ts seamless-
ly into a tapeless workow.
Scanning in 2K resolution and simultaneously storing 1K proxies allows for a
highly paralleled workow. The 1K proxies are used for best-light color correction
because many agencies like to work with material that already has the ‘look’ of the
commercial in the edit suite. The deliverables for the edit can be generated traditi-
onally as tapes or rendered in DNxHD format, which allows for fast import into an
Avid system.
What makes this workow so interesting is the fact that visual effects work and
color grading can begin before editing is nished, because all the footage is present
on disks with the full latitude and in high resolution. Tape-to-tape color correction
processes such as a rst transfer become obsolete and the time that is apparently
lost by using a non real-time lm scanner can easily be regained.
The advantages for a commercials workow at a glance:
n Complete negative information will be transferred to digital data
n No artist is necessary for the scanning processes
n Full grading can be done on the scans
n No additional equipment like a transfer engine is necessary
n Oversampling delivers sharper SD images
n Special ARRISCAN Speed3K model is available
