At the Digitization Annex of the Freedman Center for Digital Scholarship at the Kelvin Smith Library at Case Western Reserve University, we recently acquired a Retroscan Universal Mark II for digitizing film. This video is an overview and sample of how we used to to digitize a 16mm sound film and converting the audio using AEO Light 2. We get our leader and splices from Urbanski Film.

Great educational video!

Excellent video. Thank you very much.

That was tremendous.

*Jarod, that was an awesome demonstration. I'm intrigued how the AEO Light Free Software reads and processess the 16 mm Optical Soundtrack. The transfer image quality seems to be quite good.*

It's shocking! Shocking how well it works!

16mm film has incredible resolution, 2048 x 1536 for the full film (looks like about 2 frames vertical) is quite low, specially now that 4K displays are everywhere.

John, Need your input/opinion for massive restoration project, thank you

Jared. thank you for your excellent work creating this demo. I have the same machine - Roger makes some incredible gear. I noticed you rethreaded the film for the rewind process. I just skip that and thread it under the scanner elements. Do you rethread for any reason I should know about? Also, I see you are are using the auto feature. Do you normally use this with good results in post on most films or was this for the demo? Once again, fantastic job and a contribution to the community of users. I liked the splicer demo - I have been using film cement with often bad results. I learned something. Terry in Seattle

@jaredx2 2 года назад

I want it to wind slower and steadier. Usually don’t use auto and set everything to 0. Only auto on home movies that I don’t want to have to work on.

@tbmpvideo 2 года назад

@@jaredx2 Yes, I also do the same but on everything rewind-wise. Two more questions (since you really seem to know what you are doing!): Do you do a flat scan and to the color correction in Resolve or whatever and how do you calibrate your monitors for color accuracy? I use the DataColor Spyder in the final edit monitor. I skip the color correction sliders in Rogers program and only use the brightness function. Thanks again for you pro level advice.

@jaredx2 2 года назад

@@tbmpvideo I haven't done any color correction other than global correction by hand and yes I sometimes calibrate my monitors ;)

@tbmpvideo 2 года назад

@@jaredx2 What software / hardware do you use to calibrate your monitors? Sorry to be a pest. Different colors between monitors makes me nuts! Do you use DaVinci Resolve to do your color correction or do you stay in Premiere? Once again - that was the best video I have seen about the machine. Terry

@clarkkellogg3243 Год назад

Thank you for posting,this is a great demo. What if I have 16mm film that has magnetic sound?

@robfriedrich2822 11 месяцев назад

I guess, the sound portion could be digitized in a machine, that is quartz synchronized.

@robfriedrich2822 11 месяцев назад

I'm at the start and wonder, if it would possible to digitize the picture frame by frame, digitize the sound and to synch both.

@jaredx2 11 месяцев назад

that’s really what’s this doing

@matthewboyd4638 Год назад

Jared, I am in need of scanning/digitizing about 2 hours of 16mm from 1955 for a documentary. Is this something I can hire you to do, or is there someone you recommend for a high-quality scan? I've already spoken to a few people who do this, but thought you might have a more refined opinion. Thanks

Find a company like mine that has a true archival quality digital film scanner. We use LASERGRAPHICS film scanner.

@cinepost 2 месяца назад

Jared, did you ever get your film scanned?

@RickGreenPhoto 2 года назад

How long do you cut your head and tail?

@jaredx2 2 года назад

Much longer than I should because I just remove it when I’m done and use it on the next reel. It gets a little shorter each splice but it’s very effective!

@speakeasyarchives8764 7 месяцев назад

Im surprised you didnt get a good scanner for true archiving of film.

@jaredx2 7 месяцев назад

digitization of film and video is always a compromise and the results we get for the money is a good balance. this is a goor scanner for what it is intended and the next step up is way outside what our lab would do. Was the snark intended?

@speakeasyarchives8764 7 месяцев назад

@jaredx2 no snark intended. I have a MARK II and The quality is not good compared to a Lasergraphics scanner. I would look into at least upgrading your lens B And H sells them there about $400 and there is even a better one for $800 if your interested will send info. I use my MARK Ii for 9.5 film and 35mm film

@speakeasyarchives8764 7 месяцев назад

@@jaredx2 do you know how to upscale your scans

@jaredx2 7 месяцев назад

yes and the price of the lasergraphics wasn’t an option.

@speakeasyarchives8764 7 месяцев назад

@jaredx2 but there's wonderful archival scanner for $35k

@jaredx2 7 месяцев назад

um? I’m gonna stop replying to these condescending comments now. Have a good one.

Really....you do a great job. Preservation can be done in many ways. The ultimate goal is that these films can be shared and enjoyed for years to come.
