This is a high resolution and high-quality film scanner, capable of seamlessly scanning large format film materials. It is possibly the only scanner in the world which is capable of achieving an astounding resolution of 14K at a bit depth of 16 bits. This evolutionary scanner provides outputs in various formats including TIFF, DPX and EXR at a speed of 2.4 FPS at 14K.
Scanity HDR has been developed specifically for archive and restoration facilities to manage a range of difficult and historically-aged film issues. It facilitates the ingest of difficult dense black and white materials at real-time speeds using a unique triple-exposure technology – which means that instead of slowing down, the speed remains constant, creating significant time and cost benefits and allowing access to previously unseen details from the high and lowlights of the film at extraordinary speeds.
