Northlight Automated dust busting

The scan capability on both the Northlight and the Northlight 2 enables automatic downstream dust busting processes using 3rd party software products. The error map is included as a second image element in the DPX file to aid automatic 'dust busting' packages.

Existing scanners can be retrofitted.

FilmLight supports most repair packages including Forge from The Foundry, PFClean from Pixel Farm and Correct from MTI. These packages provide accurate and fully automated clean up.

We are working on seamless integration of this technology within the scanner environment, and of course either can be used as a pre-process to Baselight grading using the same Linux node hardware.

Northlight's unique 'edge up' film transport is also specifically designed to minimise dust falling onto the film during the scanning process
