  Revival System
  Until now, restoring aging motion picture film was a time-intensive, cost prohibitive process. And
  because of the expense, only films with wide audience appeal - and hence only those guaranteeing
  a high return on investment - were being restored to their original pristine condition. da Vinci 
  addresses these requirements with a set of sophisticated

Revival takes the tedious, time consuming, and expensive tasks involved in restoring aging film and automated the most challenging parts. With Revival, the restoration process is faster, more efficient, and in most cases better quality than traditional analog techniques.

The film classics - high profile or lesser known works - are brought back to life, preserving a precious, valuable part of cinematic history.

The need for restoration is not confined to old film or historical titles. As film libraries continue to grow, companies are digitally mastering even the most recent films for broadcast, film, DVD and other digital media distribution. Revival plays a dynamic role in these remastering projucts, assuring the highest quality results. Moreover, even the most gently handled film may have scratches, dirt, dust and other undesirables. Revival is the fastest way to remove those issues before the rest of the finishing process.

Revival is a comprehensive, standalone software application for image restoration running on a choice of SGI or Intel computing hardware. Adding even greater workflow flexibility Revival for Discreet affordably complements Discreet editing and compositing systems sharing the same computing hardware and directly accessing images stored on the Discreet Stone drive array system.
