Abstract

Eastman Keykode numbers (machine-readable bar code on motion-picture film that replicates the human-readable key numbers) have brought to film the same rapid addressability that time code brings to videotape. To take full advantage of this technology throughout the post-production process requires that Keykode numbers and video and audio time codes be correlated with frame and field accuracy. The 16mm and 35mm Eastman Keykode numbers transfer verification films have been developed to quickly analyze the entire bar-code reading system, from telecine transfer to off-line edit decision list. These test films will quickly identify most of the ambiguities that result in erroneous correlation between film bar code and time codes.
