The resolution of ViperCam in filmstream mode is 1920x1080 covering an aspect ratio of 1 to 2.37. The output of the camera is 10bit per pixel. The pixel count happens to be identical with the highest HD resolution.
When Kodak introduced a system to capture 35mm film and record it back out their research suggested that you would need 4096x3112 pixels to truthfully map a frame of film negative into the digital domain. Six times the pixel count of 1920x1080.
These numbers could suggest that film has better resolution than a digital image in the current 1920x1080. It could further lead to the notion that digital would be only visually up to par with film when it was recorded at 4K.
Neither one of these ideas are necessarily true. In terms of resolution, a digital image with 1920x1080 resolution on a good projector looks as good if not better than any 35mm film print. This includes answer prints struck directly from the camera negative.
