The Blackmagic Design Cintel Scanner G3 HDR+ 8/16 is a complete solution for real-time film scanning and grading. It features precision mechanical film handling components and a high-intensity light source. The precision capstans present in the earlier model of the scanner are retained to handle film gently.
The scanner, which is specifically designed to scan 8mm to HD and 16mm to UHD digital formats, includes both 8mm and 16mm film gates and DaVinci Resolve Studio software. The scanner transfers film directly to DaVinci Resolve via Thunderbolt connectivity to either macOS or Windows systems, allowing you to edit film rolls back together, grade and reframe scans, apply noise reduction, and extract audio. The ability to use DaVinci Resolve to operate the scanner ensures more creative control than possible with a hardware-only control solution.
Designed for 8 & 16mm Film Scanning
The art of film scanning is advanced with a completely redesigned light source that allows real-time HDR film scanning in HD for 8mm film sources and Ultra HD 4K for 16mm film. This new model retains the renowned features of the earlier Cintel scanners, such as digital servos, gentle capstan drives, advanced color science, 35mm and 16mm film support, and an elegant design that can be used as desktop or wall-mounted. The Cintel Scanner is perfect for unlocking vast archive film libraries for conversion into new UHD masters so they can be uploaded for streaming and online distribution.
New High-Intensity Light Source
The scanner's new high-intensity light source and advanced color science provide an additional 3.5 stops of HDR, allowing for sharp, high-quality images from the scanned film even when running at real-time speed. The RGB LED grid array illumination source is designed to work with an extremely sensitive imaging sensor and ensures your priceless film is never exposed to unnecessary thermal stress and color fading effects of traditional scanner lamps. There's even a film inspection mode that allows you to see how the original film looks compared to the scans achieved with the Cintel's light source.
