600 G5 dual processor macs for digital restoration of star wars

Quote:

"Each frame of film is slowly pulled past a CCD sensor. It takes approximately four seconds to take a frame of film and digitise it.

"When we're done we have a computer file of roughly 70mb for each frame of film. A movie such as Star Wars has about 180,000 frames."

The 70 MB per frame of film requires an enormous amount of storage, and fortunately there is an impressive 400 terabytes sitting just down the corridor.

Massive computing power brings the picture back to the original quality

The processing power is quite formidable too. The brains of the facility are 600 Apple G5s, each a dual processor 2GHz machine.

Mike Inchalik says: "The Apple G5s were chosen because it's an extraordinary floating point processing machine, and with 1,200 such processors there's a really immense amount of processing capability here.

600x2 G5 processors, yet they can't play as many games as a Windows box with a single P4 processor.

That's not really that surprising, actually... When I use slide film and I scan it into the computer off the slide, my raw files are about 50 meg or so...
