Release Notes

v1.3 minimal NR
This is my minimal NR (Noise Reduction) version. The print capture that we used had some
chroma noise added by the camera used to capture it. This version attempts to remove the
chroma noise but preserve as much of the original grain and detail as possible.
A 15% Temporal NR was applied in Neat Video. Doing any kind of NR softens the grain and
image. I applied some sharpening in Neat Video to sharpen the detail but not the grain.
It should be a bit sharper than v1.0 or v1.1.

The colour for the most part is sanjuro_61's grade (v1.1). I made a few tweaks throughout.
I also applied a contrast curve to brighten it up a bit. I retained the existing black
levels though.

I removed the reel change markers. I felt they were important to preserve for my previous
releases but now we can move on to a cleaner look.

The 5.1 track is swapped with the more authentic version that was in the alternate audio
folder previously.

v1.3 file names...
03-Return.of.the.Jedi.4K83.2160p.UHD.35mm.minimalNR.x265-v1.3.mkv <--- this version
03-Return.of.the.Jedi.4K83.1080p.35mm.minimalNR.x264-v1.3.mkv

v1.2 (and v1.2.2) DNR
That is a full DNR release by SkyDude. Colour is mostly sanjuro_61's but tweaked by
SkyDude to improve upon it. More info can be found with that version.

v1.1 DNR
A DNR version was created of v1.1. A Team effort by williarob and SkyDude. More info
can be found with that version.

v1.1 changes
Color Timing: This is a shot-by-shot color grade by sanjuro_61. It is graded off of
the master files and not on top of v1.0.
Cropping is different. I started from scratch. Most shots probably show a bit more of
the frame. Reels 1 and 2, I used Corner Positioner in Fusion in Resolove to align them.
In v1.0 I only rotated the frame to correct them but they were still slightly skewed.
Reels 6 and 7 are slightly rotated in this version to straighten them out.
Reel 1 I did a bit more dirt cleanup. Reel 7 I fixed most of the frozen "dancing" pixels.
Mono audio mix muxed in.
The LD audio track muxed in is the 1983 LD audio rather than the 1993 LD audio.

v1.1 file names...
03-Return.of.the.Jedi.4K83.2160p.UHD.35mm.x265-v1.1.mkv
03-Return.of.the.Jedi.4K83.1080p.35mm.x264-v1.1.mkv

v1.0 info below
The goal of Project 4K83 is simply to create a version of the 1983 Pre-Special
Edition version of Return of the Jedi that will look good on a 4K television or monitor.

This project is being rendered at 1080p and 4k UHD (2160p).
These are the final media files as follows:

03-Return.of.the.Jedi.4K83.2160p.UHD.35mm.x265-v1.0.mkv
03-Return.of.the.Jedi.4K83.1080p.35mm.x264-v1.0.mkv

99.9% of all frames used in this project are sourced from one original 1983 35mm
Eastman print. The remaining 175 frames were sourced from an alternate 35mm print.
All frames were scanned, cleaned, stabilized, and color corrected in 4k (anamorphic)
from 35mm prints. The primary print used is NOT a release print but a special screening
print struck directly from the original film negative in 1983. It is presented with
it's original film grain intact which is two generations less than what a theatrical
release print would have and only one generation from the original negative.

No digital noise reduction (DNR) or sharpening has been applied to the film image.

Color Timing: The color correction has been done on a reel-to-reel basis (mostly).
This preserves the color variations from shot to shot as they would have been seen
in theatres in 1983. A few deviations from the reel-to-reel correction have been made
to better conform to a TV/monitor environment, plus other minor adjustments. For the
most part it is a reel-to-reel color correction.

This project is not GOUT-synced. The GOUT version of this film is missing two
frames that were seen in theatres. This project presents those two original theatrical
frames for film and historical accuracy. Muxing in alternate GOUT synced audio to
this project will slightly alter the audio sync by two frames. Most people won't notice
a two frame shift in audio sync. The two extra frames are located at time 00:47:41.

Audio Track 1 is the stereo optical audio extracted from our primary 35mm print using a
35mm optical reader and Dolby decoder. Mastering by schorman.
Audio Track 2 is a new 5.1 audio track, mastered for this release. Mastering by hairy_hen.
This 5.1 mix is only suited for 5.1 systems. For 2.0 systems use one of the stereo
tracks for greater clarity.
Audio Track 3 is the 1993 LaserDisc stereo audio. Mastering by schorman.
Audio Track 4 is the 1993 LaserDisc audio commentary. Mastering by schorman.
Some alternate audio is provided in an Alternate Audio folder for you to mux in as
desired.
All audio provided is synced to 4K83. Thank you hairy_hen and schorman.

Plans for potential future updates:
* A Blu-Ray ISO has been discussed for a more standard movie-watching experience
which will include a disc menu, alongside additional content and bonus
features.
* Since the dynamic range of the scanned film exceeds that of standard
televisions, there is potential for a future HDR release. The team is working
hard to produce an HDR version as our understanding of the encoding
requirements evolve - stay tuned.

* A DNR version may be created as well. It looks quite good with the grain though.

None of these plans are guaranteed.

The included playlists should work with VLC Player or other media players, and play all
the files in order. Two different playlist formats provided in case one does not work
with your preferred media player.
