Abstract: Digital signals are generated and stored for each pixel of a frame of a video originated material. A computer reads the digital signals and converts them to binary image data by employing a program to reassign color and black component values for each pixel. The component value reassignments performed by the computer are a primary component modification step. The primary component modification step, in one embodiment, comprises component modifications by selected image zones of the video originated images, based on color data within actual filmed images originated simultaneously as the video images. The film origination and video origination are preferably provided by the same camera, with image data delivered for both through the same lens by way of a "beam-splitter" device. The primary component modified digital data is assembled and a secondary modification may also be performed. Film stock emulsion grain patterns are introduced to the images in the second modification step.

Abstract: A system for processing information in an image originated on a first medium into data representative of a modified image simulating an image originated on a selected second medium.

Abstract: Digital signals are generated and stored for each pixel of a frame of a preferably high definition video originated material. A computer reads the digital signals and converts them to binary image data by employing a selected look-up-table program to reassign color and black component values for each pixel. The programs applied in the component value reassignments are compiled from, and based on, comparative digital video component results of telecined film stocks' responses to selected color and grey scale gradients as charted against a selected video unit's response to the same charts under a selected number of identical lighting circumstances. A projector unit projects the high definition video frame through a macro lens onto a strip of exposed and processed motion picture or other photographic film of an optional grey scale gradient and thus grain pattern density.
