George Eastman House choose da Vinci

Da Vinci Systems have announced that the New York State based George Eastman House International Museum of Photography and Film have added da Vinci's revival film restoration system to their new digital restoration laboratory.
Housed within the museum's L. Jeffrey Selznick School of Film Preservation, the digital restoration lab now includes the revival system powered by the Silicon Graphics Octane2 visual workstation.
The integrated solution should give school staff an additional outlet for providing hands-on training in film preservation and restoration techniques. Guidance in the use of the revival and Octane2 products will become a part of the Selznick School's standard curriculum and will enable students to further their expertise in the preservation discipline.
Students have the opportunity for hands-on restoration work on select films from Eastman House's motion picture collections. These collections include more than 25,000 titles from 1895 to present; 10,000 movie posters; more than three million film stills, posters, lobby cards, scripts, and scores; personal film collections from several major film icons; and one of the world's most important collections of silent films.
