Kodak 2374 Panchromatic 35mm Black & White Sound Recording Film (2180')

This 2180' roll of Kodak's 2374 Panchromatic 35mm Black-and-White Sound Recording Film has a gray ESTAR base and is a high-contrast, panchromatic film designed for recording variable-area soundtrack negatives with a tungsten light source, and/or producing digital soundtrack negatives. Analog negatives made from this film produce an excellent silver, high-magenta and cyan-only soundtracks. It is optimized to produce all three types of digital soundtrack negatives: DTS (Digital Theater Systems), Dolby Digital, and Sony SDDS (Sony Dynamic Digital Sound).

A process-surviving antistat incorporated in the gray ESTAR base reduces the propensity for dirt and static marks in printing. This, and scratch-resistant base and emulsion surface coatings, improve the film's durability offering opportunities for increased yields in labs. Enhanced acutance and sharpness of the film yields excellent signal-to-noise performance, high-frequency response, and sound quality in both digital and analog tracks.
