an extension of the latent edge numbers whereby each frame is given a number. These numbers are recorded as a barcode on the negative and can be read by a special reader in the lab or transfer house.
NUMBERS READER. Device attached to a telecine or part of a bench logger which reads Keykode numbers bar code from motion picture film and provides electronic output to a decoder.
A proprietary film-marking system developed by Eastman Kodak that applies optical information identifying the film stock and footage to the edge of the film during manufacture. Keykode consists of both "human-readable" numbers and a machine-readable bar code.
Machine readable film edge numbers. Developed by Eastman Kodak. Used primarily for conforming the negative to an edit list for finishing on film. Often burned into a window during dailies transfer for back up.
A barcode on the edge of motion picture film which allows the film edge numbers to be electronically read and inserted into an edit list. Very useful for generating a negative cut list from a video off-line EDL.
A system of latent edge numbers developed by Eastman Kodak. A similar system known as MR Code is used by Fuji Film. These human readable and machine readable (barcode) numbers are located on the edge of motion picture film stock and are used to number film frames during post production. Tracking these KeyKode numbers accurately is essential for successful post production of film originated material
Introduced in 1990, Keykode is an Eastman Kodak Company advancement on edge numbers, which are letters, numbers and symbols placed at regular intervals along the edge of 35 mm and 16 mm film to allow for frame-by-frame specific identification.
