No need to search for a paranormal reasoning behind the improved image
of “The X-Files,” all 201 episodes were remastered by illuminate, using
its iConform technology, ahead of the TV show’s debut on Netflix back in
April.
iConform, a proprietary software, automatically edited together
scanned camera-original negatives using existing reference materials.
They then applied color correction and other enhancements to the
resulting scans to create a new file on par with today’s viewing
standards. The process also entailed recreating the special effects from
all the episodes.
Based in Studio City, Calif., illuminate is a production and
post-production technology developer for the entertainment industry.
