Film Technologies
Due to our roots in photography, we have a lot of knowledge in film chemistry and historical photographical methods.

We developed SALSAH and KNORA, fully web based solutions for the work with digital sources. We are operating the Data and Service Center for the Humanities in Switzerland and are host for multiple international projects.
We did multiple industry projects to enhance scanners for motion picture, sound and photography. Due to our knowledge in optics and electrical engineering we are able to find pragmatic solutions.
We are well experienced in calculating and visualization of RTIs. We develop new software to be able to reproduce gloss and mat materials properly and we can embed RTIs in Virtual Research Environment.
We are pioneers in digital preservation, developed bits-on-film solutions like Monolithâ„¢ and have implemented storage networks for automatic redundancy balancing and migration. We are the host of the TI/A initiative.
Our roots are scientific photography and we still take care on that topic. We have rich knowledge in analogue and digital photography, studio techniques, reproduction of artwork and new computational methods.
We make use of state-of-the-art technologies for simple, functional and efficient storage solutions. We consult multiple archives and museums.
We have a deep knowledge in color science, color transforms. We are doing research in color vision and high fidelity color renderings.
We are using WebGL for the visualization of RTI images and photographically gained textures, that can be applied on 3D meshes.
We are RDF experts and have rich knowledge in designing ontologies, performant data base designs, that fulfill the highest needs regarding interoperability and simply maintenance.
Our goal is to promote and enhance IIIF server technology for archiving. We are about to use the on the fly transcoding for video as well, to be able to offer a full feature media sever, optimized for archival purposes.
