Digital Access Copy

For the Access and Viewing Copy, the user can choose from different types of mezzanine and proxy file formats. The Advance Video Codec (H.264, MPEG-4) in a MOV container was chosen as the standard format because of maximum interoperability on all major media platforms. The default resolution is Full High Definition with an aspect ratio of 16:9 to be compliant with standard TV sets. Custom settings and user-defined pan and scan settings allow users to adjust the aspect ratio to suit their exact requirements.

You can choose image stabilisation calculated on the perforations so that possible imperfections in the INSPECTIONscan film transport will not distort the authenticity of the recorded Access Copies.

It is also good to know that the output files are automatically delivered to your network destination. This makes downstream editorial work a breeze, even in the home office.

If you require other output formats, Cube-Tec engineers have the expertise to deliver even exotic file formats fully standards-compliant and ready for long-term preservation. But be aware Access Copies are not designed as lossless digital master files for a sustainable digitisation, preserve your analog film reels. If in doubt, we recommend a look at the norm DIN SPEC 15587 "Recommendations for the digitisation of cinematographic film".
