Scientific and Technical Award (Scientific and Engineering Award). To
Volker Massmann,
Markus Hasenzahl,
Dr. Klaus Anderle and
Andreas Loew for the development of the Spirit 4K/2K film scanning system as used in the digital intermediate process for motion pictures.
The Spirit 4K/2K has distinguished itself by incorporating a continuous-motion transport mechanism enabling full-range, high-resolution scanning at much higher frame rates than non-continuous transport scanners.
