SCANITYTM

SCANITY is a film scanner that offers unprecedented speed, versatility, stability, and safe film handling. It serves a variety of scanning applications including, dailies, feature film mastering, EDL/conform scanning, low resolution browsing, archive and restoration, short-form commercials, as well as digital intermediate scanning.

High Speed Imaging - Continuous transport using capstan
  • 15 fps @ 4K
  • 25 fps @ 2K
  • 44 fps @ 1K
  • 69 fps @ 0,5K
  • 96 fps @ 0,25K

SCANITY uses unique Time Delay Integration (TDI) line sensor technology, and dedicated FPGA image processing to deliver record-setting high-speed film scanning – all while handling film gently and safely.

Versatile and Flexible Scanner

SCANITY is an incredibly versatile and flexible scanner that serves a multitude of scanning applications.

Gentle and Safe Film Handling

SCANITY uses a completely new and uniquely designed Roller Gate in the scanning area of the film path. This method is the most gentle way to transport and scan the film, and besides from the rollers, there are no mechanical parts.

Stability and Steadiness

SCANITY provides touch-free pin registration rather than mechanical pins to ensure excellent image steadiness.

Low Operational Expenses

SCANITY uses efficient LED light sources, dedicated hardware processors, as well as fewer and less expensive third party components. This lowers initial costs as well as operational expenses.
