	The cleaned footage signal was then run through a da Vinci 2K Plus color system to ensure that the colors were to the original film prints. The da Vinci 2K Plus is an industry standard system used for color correction in feature films and broadcast, and was primarily used in this instance to set the levels of the whites and blacks in the film in order to present the colors in a manner faithful to the original prints.<br>		The cleaned footage signal was then run through a da Vinci 2K Plus color system to ensure that the colors were to the original film prints.

	The final media for transfer was Sony's HDCAM, a fully high-definition digital tape. The film was laid to tape at 1080p HD at 24 frames per second. The frame-rate is important to note, as it allowed the film, which was originally created at 24 frames per second, to be transferred to tape frame by frame. This frame-rate prevented any unnecessary data from being added to the final video, and preserves the film masters at the highest quality possible.}}		The final media for transfer was Sony's HDCAM, a fully high-definition digital tape.
