DIGITALLY RESTORED FILM
Digital restoration is the frame-by-frame enhancement of a film, allowing you to see and hear it just as audiences did when it was first released.
The digital enhancement process begins by scanning the film in 4K resolution. This is done using special equipment with registration pins to ensure maximum image stability. This is followed by the removal of visual and audio imperfections in two stages—first semi-automatically, and then manually, cleaning frame by frame.
