This film, a unique testimony to the exploits of Bertrand Piccard and Brian Jones, needed to be restored to preserve its content after 25 years of inadequate conservation.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>A document worth saving<\/h3>\n<p>The standard definition images and the ageing of the support were threatening the survival of this work. The Swiss foundation Espace Ballon called on Vectracom to restore this emblematic film, capturing the extraordinary balloon journey that made history.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>A specific technical challenge<\/h3>\n<p>To restore this documentary, Vectracom transformed the SD images into HD using advanced software and the expertise of its technicians. Another challenge was adapting the 4:3 format to a circular screen in the shape of a porthole, while managing multilingual subtitles.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>A project for audiovisual heritage<\/h3>\n<p>This project illustrates Vectracom&#8217;s commitment to safeguarding and promoting our audiovisual heritage . Thanks to its expertise, this film will be rediscovered by future generations.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\nVectracom carried out this restoration with precision, demonstrating once again its expertise in preserving audiovisual heritage. This project underlines its key role in cultural transmission.
