What is a film recorder?
When you have a digital image you want made into a slide, photographic transparency, or negative film, you need access to a film recorder, sometimes called a film printer. Older film recorders used a monitor for their scans, but modern ones use a much better process, and suffer no distortions due to monitor geometry, like the older recorders did. The Kodak LVT (Light Valve Technology), is a state-of-the-art digital film recorder which uses proprietary electro-optic modulators (known as “light valves”) to accurately control the amount of red, green, and blue light exposed for each pixel. It is the highest quality, highest resolution output device for recording digital data onto continuous tone professional color film. The resulting images retain all of the quality of the scanned, or digital originals. Images are exposed one pixel at a time, ensuring exact sharpness. It resolves more lines per mm than film can render–resolutions of 8,000 lines or higher for imaging on any size film. It
