German term or phrase: gezogenes 35mm Sicherungsstück
Hello,

I'm working on a short article about a film archive.
The sentence in question reads:

"Als Ausgangsmaterial diente ein von einer zeitgenössischen Nitratkopie
gezogenes 35mm Sicherungsstück."

My rendering at the moment is:

"An original nitrate print taken from a 35mm XXX served as source material."

I've no idea how to translate "gezogenes 35mm Sicherungsstück" in this context.
Maybe I'm not on the right track with "taken from".

Any input would be gratefully appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Für die Sicherung und Langzeitarchivierung von aktuellen Produktionen sollten - solange vorhanden - Negative hinterlegt werden. Als digitales Sicherungsstück wird das DCDM empfohlen, als Benutzungsstück zusätzlich das DCP.

In the simplest terms, DCP is the digital equivalent of a 35mm film print...
DCDM is an acronym for Digital Cinema Distribution Master. This is the final format of your film before the DCP is created.

The film elements and stills in the Kleine Collection are held at here at the Packard Campus. Some of the motion picture holdings are in 35mm, but most of them are 16mm reduction master positives derived from the original 35mm nitrate elements acquired in 1947.

In recent years, in order to serve the goals of access and preservation, the Library of Congress has been copying the paper rolls onto 35mm motion picture negative film. Next, a positive film print is made from the 35mm negative and this is transferred to Betacam SP videotape to produce the master for digitization...
The analog audio from the cylinders and discs were transferred to Digital Audio Tape (DAT) to produce a master source for digitization.

agree  Lancashireman: This makes most sense. Sicherung is not the same as Sicherheit.

  -> Thanks. Based on the references, including yours, it's not Sicherheitsfilm and not necessarily film.
