The secondaries can be pushed farther before noise becomes a problem. Similarly, performing noise reduction and image enhancement in higher resolution will result in less aliasing and create fewer artifacts. For instance, in compositing work, the improved transitions in the individual color channels will result in cleaner mattes. More detail can be retained at the edges of the foreground image before noise becomes a problem. Also, for feature work and video disc mastering, the increased resolution is a must.
More detail is available in varying backgrounds and low light situations.
With more color information, high chroma shots can be pushed further with less noise. This makes it easier to isolate specific colors for secondary color correction. When creating transfers designed for DVD and the compression concerns that accompany the pre-mastering process, it follows that if more information is available to start with, then more intelligent choices can be made in what to throw away, therefore creating a better compression pass. The neon's freedom from ringing and noise also helps the compression engine concentrate on actual material rather than artifacts. Building Masters Building multiple-format tape masters is a natural for the HR1440neon.
