upconvert DV 720×480 to 2k
Hello fellow cow members thanks in advance. Im not sure where to post this question but I thought this forum would be a good start. I’ve been work on a Feature that has been completed and now is going to be screened in a few theaters around the country. Some of these theaters are using the Digital Cinema initiatives. So We would like to have are film screened from a quicktime encoded to JPEG-2000 and of course it has to be 2k. So my question is can you drop the DV timeline into a pro res 2k timeline is this something that will have good results and even something thats should tried?. OR should this go through a teranex or even a telecine and have DI done. or even a Kona 3? Any help would be great or if anyone has any experience with this that would be awesome. Thanks Alot

Do not do it yourself. Take it to a telecine house.

“That’s what you will need to perform the conversion. CineFilm here in Atlanta can do this conversion for you.

Thank you for responding walter you made my day, I hoping you would add your two cents. and this will be more cost effective then doing a DI? will the telecine look better?

You need to find a post house or lab that does DCI encoding. This is still a speciality that not to many places do, and the DCI spec is very specific. If your video doesn’t match the spec, it won’t play on the theatre’s server.
The same shop should be able to upres your video to 2k. They will tell you what to bring to them, most likely they’ll want it in it’s current format.
Your video cannot go to a telecine. Telecine is for film to be transferred to video, not the other way around.
DI is a fancy way of saying color correction. The shop that does your DCI encoding can probably do your DI.

Thanks so much for the response Arnie it was very informative. I have never heard of a DCI before. I called DU art and techicolor here in new york they never mentioned a DCI. they did tell me it was going to cost thousands of dollars. when its all said and done im sure its going to look terrible anyway and the should just be screened from a DIGIbeta. Im going to look into the DCI. thanks again Arnie
