"What I liked about the HD2K was the scaler," commented Franz who, as a BAFTA judge, has been using it to screen BAFTA award entries prior to casting his votes. "It ramps up any input of a lower standard to HD and produces an image that's outstanding and virtually pixel-free to the naked eye." The HD2K has been installed inside the studio auditorium and is front projected. It will be used to screen films produced by over 200 students attending Brighton Film School annually, as well as being used commercially. Producers shooting in the Brighton area and surrounds are encouraged to screen their daily footage and films using the Brighton Film Studios. The new Brighton Film Studios have been set up to provide a service to the many companies who come to film in the Brighton area. "So many come and film here," said Franz. "What we are now offering is a base for them - and they can now use the facility to see their rushes on a quality system before they leave."
