  1. TelecineHigh Definition Film Transfer NASA/JSC February 2009

  2. Background • JSC Multimedia Repositories house over 9 million feet (app. 4000 hours) of 16mm motion picture film, 1959-1995. • Flight Film: preserved in cold vault below freezing • Institutional Film: kept at 70 F / 50% rH, early stages of vinegar syndrome (content includes astronaut training, spacecraft and facilities manufacture and testing, mission control activities, splashdown, VIP events, etc.) • Preservation efforts in past two years have focused on Institutional film. • Re-canned and moved most originals/master prints into a cold vault at 45 F / 45% rH. • Established telecine operation to transfer films to DPX files. • New database: physical inventory, workflow for tracking film transfers, indexed content and scanned original scenelists

  3. Actions • NASA/JSC has built-up the capability for preserving the imagery on our 16mm and 35mm institutional motion picture film collection. A telecine (scanner) film chain system was installed that can transfer the film to various digital formats. • The film will be transferred to a digital tape format for archiving and to other formats for improved accessibility and operational and production uses.

  4. File Chain System Architecture File based Work Flow Mag Follower Video Tape Recorders Repository LTO4 Tape Drives Audio TAR Telecine Routing layers RGB Bravo Server DPX SAN Control & Color correction Lustre Image processing tools Proxy Files Production tapes Hard-drive products Disk products

  5. Standards • We are participating in the activities of the Federal Agencies Digitization Guidelines Initiative. http://www.digitizationguidelines.gov/ • ANSI/SMPTE 268M Digital Picture Exchange (DPX) • ANSI/IEEE 1003.1 Section 10 Data Interchange Format (TAR - tape archive) • SMPTE RP 189 - Organization of DPX Files on TAR Tapes

  6. Basic Features and Specifications • Scanner - FilmSys Nova Telecine 16 mm/35 mm film, optical and mag track audio. • Output - 10 bit uncompressed 4:4:4 RGB DPX (1920 x 1080) • DPX Embedded Audio • Autodesk Lustre color correction (as needed) • Digital tape formats - LTO-4, HDCAM SR, DVCPro HD, Digital Betacam. • Digital file format - MPEG 2 (DVD in production, Blu-Ray under construction). • Other formats upon request.
