In-camera Slate Reader
To dramatically improve comfort, reliability and throughput in post-
production the In-camera Slate Reader can automatically read all slate
data that was exposed on film. This is done through optical character
recognition in telecine or later while the images are loaded into the
editing system.
Using the In-camera Slate Reader in telecine makes creating video rush-
es considerably faster and simpler since the In-camera Slate Reader can
automatically synchronize the audio and log all In-camera Slate infor-
mation.
For the use in non-linear editing systems, the film is transferred in telecine
without any extra steps. The footage is then loaded into the editing system
and at the same time sent to the In-camera Slate Reader. A list of all In-
camera Slate information is created during this process, such as name of
production, director, Cinematographer, take number, scene number and
film timecode.
