The info on the use of CRI technology and it's purpose, as given here is incorrect. CRI was in the beginning introduced for faster but foremost better results for TV use. Better quality for the 35 mm motion picture industry was also achieved by the use of this system, whereby the camera negative was duplicated via the direct CRI technique onto a second neg. hereby bypassing the commonly used interpositive. The CRI did away with the interpos. and yielded much better definition and sharpness by the elimination of one complete duplicating step!! This technique produced a dupe neg directly from the camera master. Later in time, when the duplicating procedures became less lossy the interpositive made it's re-entry (now replaced with digital intermediate) thereby saving the camera original from too much use producing many CRI negs for the different labs throughout the world. From an archival point the CRI's gave serious problems after as little as 5 years because this Kodak material faded very quickly. If this system would be used nowadays it would render excellent results that would be hard to beat with the digital intermediate. The digital intermediate however lends itself superbly for all editing, color correcting and special effects and cannot be beaten for it's versatility in this area.
