I think it's actually higher than that since hi-def video is only supposed to have about 1/4 the resolution of 35mm film. (still a lot better than standard DVD, though).
Was the actual o-neg scanned for Lowry? I thought they just had prints scanned in. The SE o-neg would be different, anyhow, since none of the digital changes for the SE would exist on the 1970's negatives.
