P+S Technik Offers SteadyFrame Scanner P+S Technik has introduced the SteadyFrame Universal Format Scanner, a state-of-the-art digital film scanner for 16mm and 35mm. The SteadyFrame can scan great quantities of film at a high quality in a short period of time while taking great care of the film elements. Capable of confronting the variety of problems often encountered with archived film stock, the SteadyFrame is perfectly suited to high-end restoration and preservation projects. The filmtransport system allows for an easy exchange between 35mm and 16mm, and the graphical user interface makes it easy to quickly understand how to operate the scanner. The heart of the SteadyFrame is the software-based Perforation Recognition System (PRS). The replacement of mechanical image-stabilization modules with software-based pattern-recognition algorithms enables careful handling of the archive film throughout the scanning process thanks to sprocket-free transport. Other advantages include the ability to handle different perforation patterns, types and pitches, as well as different types of film, such as positive, negative and intermediate. With PRS, even currently unknown film formats, perforation patterns and aspect ratios can be scanned with a simple software update. A number of SteadyFrame Scanners have already been delivered, including to New York-based preservation and restoration facility Cineric. “We are very impressed with the SteadyFrame’s very gentle sprocket and pinfree transport system,” says Adam Wangerin, Cineric’s optical line manager. “Being able to switch from 35mm to 16mm in just minutes makes it easy and fast to work in multiple formats.” The SteadyFrame Universal Format Scanner is available through the ZGC distribution network in North and South America, as well as P+S Technik’s international resellers.

I CLARIFICATION In our June article about previsualization, the abbreviation “previz” was used throughout the text, reflecting AC ’s house style at the time. However, the Previs Subcommittee of the ASC Technology Committee — a joint committee comprising members of the ASC, the Art Directors Guild and the Visual-Effects Society — has decided to use “previs” as its official abbreviation of the term. AC has amended its house style to reflect that consensus. 67
