Cineon System was a computer based system, integrating a film scanner and recorder hardware, digital software for compositing and effects, image restoration, color management and the development of a proprietary file format designed by Kodak. These components were created to support the work flow of digital intermediate film production. Tape drives and workstations were also included in the system. The system was first released in 1993 and was abandoned by 1997. As an end-to-end solution for 2K and 4K digital film production, the system was well ahead of its time. The major components of the system (scanner, workstation software, and recorder) have all received AMPAS Scientific and Technical Awards.

Kodak no longer sells the system or its components; however, the “Cineon” (.cin) file format that Kodak defined still is commonly used in the film visual effects world. (The Digital Picture Exchange (DPX) file format is also used in those applications; DPX files commonly store pixel data encoded according to Cineon Printing Density.)
