Several soundtracks were scanned at project partner sondor on the Resonances system that scans positive and negative optical soundtracks in real-time. An area of interest is determined (see red lines) and the track is cleaned up during transfer with a dedicated dust-busting plug-in. Particularly challenging in this instance was the Dufaycolor soundtrack, an additive colour filmstock with a red, green and blue reseau (for more information click here), which produces its own high pitch. The output files in these cases will form the basis for sound negatives for preservation purposes and future DCPs.
