Description

The Library requires a 4K motion picture film recorder to enable full resolution and color printing of scanned motion picture film images within The Library has occupied a new facility for the conservation of audiovisual materials located in Culpeper, VA. The new facility is state of the art and houses activities that the Library’s Motion Picture, Broadcasting and Recorded Sound Division (MBRS) has not been able to perform on this scale, if at all, before now. Included within the new facility is a new film preservation laboratory. In 2005, work began to prototype a digital film program within the film preservation laboratory, then located on Wright-Patterson AFB near Dayton, Ohio. The focus of that program was the MBRS Division’s Paper Print Collection. The program proved in concept the use of scanners to copy paper prints and paved the way for a more ambitious digital film program within the preservation laboratory. This next phase of the digital film program involved the purchase of an Oxberry 4K Cinescan film scanner, which can scan films that would normally be printed using the Oxberry model 1500 optical printer, taking advantage of the wide variety of film gates and transport sprockets that were purchased over the years for that machine. The film preservation laboratory’s Paper Print Collection digital pilot program included a 2K resolution film recorder, for printing the images scanned from the paper prints back out to film. This film recorder is only capable of printing to B&W film stocks at a maximum of 2K pixel resolution (2048 pixels by 1536 pixels). With the implementation of a 4K (4096 pixels by 3072 pixels) digital program, a higher resolution and color capable film recorder is required. 2. Project Scope Acquire a 4K motion picture film recorder to enable full resolution and color printing of scanned motion picture film images within the Film Preservation Laboratory. 3. Requirements & Deliverables The following technical specifications are mandatory: a. The film recorder must be newly manufactured. Rebuilt or refurbished equipment is not acceptable. b. The scanner must come with a minimum of a 1 year warranty. See Solicitation package for more details
