UltraPan8 full resolution 2080x870x24 uploaded.

Post by Nicholas Kovats »

This is the full resolution over-scanned 2080x870 pixels x 24bit depth sequential jpegs source file converted to MPEG4 for viewing purposes regarding the inaugural UltranPan8 test film roll recently uploaded.

This newest upload removes an additional level of compression, i.e.

1. original upload conversion/compression path:
UltraPan8 film -> 2080x870 pixels x 24bit depth sequential jpegs -> DIVX (mpeg4) 2.8:1 extraction -> YouTube/Vimeo compression

2. New upload conversion/compression path:
UltraPan8 film -> 2080x870 pixels x 24bit depth sequential jpegs -> YouTube/Vimeo compression

Camera mod provided by Jean-Louis Seguin. The scan was delivered by John Gledhill of bitworks.org utilizing his sprocketless 16mm transfer bay. Note that the ultra-wide native frame dimensions of UltraPan8 = 10.52mm x 3.75mm w/ AR = 2.8:1.

The file is also available for public download and examination here, i.e. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/29307178/Squent ... 0MPEG4.mp4

Note the impressive density of information contained in this minimal latitude reversal film stock, i.e. Ektachrome 100D.
