FXF and FXF Zi - is an Intel i7 based enhancement developed by Avid Tech to ensure that in addition to direct film scanning from the emulsion side of the film one frame at a time to a corresponding video frame for unsurpassed frame discrimination, our FXF and HD FXF Zi adaptation and dedicated Intel i7 based computing solutions enhance the results far advanced from the telecine operation alone.

FXF and FXF Zi are both hardware and codec enhancements and superior quality film transfers come from our FXF and FXF Zi - Intel i7 8 core CPU based computer systems that provide error free digitisation and better image quality than could otherwise be achieved from off the shelf gear.

Each telecine machine has its own dedicated matched FXF or HD FXFZi - workstation computer with unique frame flow and solid stable hardware encoding provides absolute consistency of quality with improved contrast and colour that is more natural with better skin tones than an ordinary set up.

Our film transfers are so good that any pause in play yields and image that can be printed to an 8 x 10 print, in fact, our custom DVD case covers feature a still image from a single frame of film.

Our telecine equipment has no mirrors or convex lens of the entry level gear or gimmick so called "off the frame" projectors that some think are great stuff, only Avid Tech shows you what we use.

True Frame-by-Frame goes HD High Definition transfer of Super 8 - 8mm and 16mm High Definition 1080p BD Blu-Ray film transfers. Continuing technology acquisition means Avid Tech was the first company in Australia to offer genuine true frame-by-frame transfers of super 8 - 8mm and 16mm to BD or Hard Disk Drive. As you would expect Avid Tech leads the way again in film transfer innovation.

You will not find this level of service quality anywhere else. Telecine was once expensive and exclusive, these days it is now more affordable and compares favourably on price with lower quality projector based transfers of 16mm - super 8 - 8mm film conversions.
