Depends if they are scans or data cine transfers.

A scan will be 2048×1556 10bit LOG DPX, for which you’ll need a LUT for viewing. Or they may provide it in LIN, so no LUT.

a data tc is smaller then scaled up. So if there any FX work get them to scan it and leave it at the raw resoloution.. even if they say its fine.. it’s not. You want the raw scan, not something up/down sampled.

why such large files just for editing? :-/

If your playing back full 2k in log with a lut applied your going to need at least 300 MBytes a second, and other decent hardware.. and 2k downconverter to HD or 2k projector.

1920×1080 at 10bit 24fps is approx 740gig an hours with 4 tracks of audio. So 2k would be about 1.2TB an hour.

This going back to film ?
