Rationale |
For the most part, film-based product specifications are dictated by the source material’s film element type. There is some flexibility however in regards to combining separate picture and soundtrack reels into a composite reel. This can be done for convenience or space management without any compromise to product quality. Selected image improvements such as color correction and density correction are routinely performed during the reformatting process. |
