Hello CB,
At a time when the film industry as a whole (and telecine
facilities and you, colorists) will have to face the formidable
threat of the coming 1080p 24Hz video origination, our duty
--as a film camera manufacturer-- is to improve film origination
performances wherever our know-how can bring something to the
film post-prod chain:
- one is sound syncing efficiency through real time recording
(AatonCode-II, InDaw, etc.)
- the other is electronic registration (only optical fiducial
marks recorded by the camera itself can bring to film an
HD-video steadiness).
No, AatonCode-II is not readable 'with lesser efficiency'
by former Keylink softwares. This would not be the right way to
defend film origination in the coming film/HDV war.
Fifteen years of Aatoncode-I (1984-1999) gave us time to learn
the in-camera time recording shortcomings. AatonCode-II corrects
them, improves sync accuracy and operates at all camera speeds,
one advantage of film over video.
Be reassured: we asked the Keylink designers --while they were
at inventing new tricks to read Aatoncode-II--, to also make
version 6.7 better at reading older cameras' Aatoncode-I.
We don't want to saw off the branch on which we all --film workers--
are seated.
