Imax Film Scan ~upd~ -

: While standard digital cinema often peaks at 4K, an IMAX film frame contains so much information it is estimated to have a digital equivalent of 18,000 pixels (18K).

Some IMAX scans use a "wet gate." The film is bathed in a special fluid with the same refractive index as the film base. This fluid fills in microscopic scratches and abrasions. For a standard 1970s documentary, you skip this to save money. For Apollo 13 or The Dark Knight remasters, you use wet gate. It adds roughly $0.50 per frame. imax film scan
