The creativity of film combined with a revolution in design!
No other company in the world has more experience at scanning film than
Cintel, and now that knowledge has been combined with cutting edge technology to produce the new Blackmagic Cintel film scanner!
The new Cintel scanner has been designed with an architectural aesthetic and it's so thin it can even be wall mounted! It features totally redesigned digital servos, high intensity diffuse light
source and imaging systems, so you get a real time scanner that scans 35mm and 16mm film up to 30fps in Ultra HD resolution! Now you can use film for post production or unlock millions of hours of
film based content for scanning to Ultra HD masters for a new future world of exciting Ultra HD distribution!
Convert Existing Film to Ultra
HD
With consumers purchasing large Ultra HD televisions in massive quantities right now, the demand for great Ultra HD content has never been greater and will become a
boom market in the next few years. Ultra HD is incredible quality and there are millions of hours of Ultra HD content that's been generated over the last 100 years locked up in 35mm film that is
stored in vaults worldwide! The new Cintel scanner will scan negative and positive 35mm film into amazing quality Ultra HD and you can unlock the extra resolution from 35mm film that no one has
been able to see until now! 35mm film is natively 4K so the extra quality is already in the film. There is no easier way to generate Ultra HD feature films and television programming for customers to
view on their new large screen televisions!
Innovative Design
Designed to hang beautifully on your wall, the Cintel film scanner is constructed using aircraft
design techniques for a stiff and vibration free main deck so you get smooth film handling. The core chassis has been designed as a super rigid structural space frame, which results in a design
that's dramatically lighter than an older simplistic heavy plate design. This means the Cintel scanner is light enough to be wall mounted in your facility, making it part of the environment of your
color correction suite. Being super thin and wall mounted, it's out of the way until you need to use it, and then it springs to life and performs! Whether wall or desk mounted the innovative design
includes sliding doors, built in cleaning rollers and new digital servos to keep your film clean and ensures handling of valuable negative remains gentle.

Latest Technology
The new Cintel film scanner is an innovation in technology. Film traditionally has been
a mechanical technology and film products have suffered from poor quality electronics that required experienced engineers to keep them working. The Cintel scanner has been designed with the latest
Blackmagic Design image processing technology and features a Thunderbolt 2 connection so you can connect it to your Mac and scan the film directly into your color correction system. That makes
setup and use extremely fast plus eliminates slow file copying after scanning. Because Cintel is a Mac OS X Thunderbolt 2 peripheral, you get easy to install software updates that add new
features and it also means you can even upgrade your computer whenever you need!
Realtime Scanning
The
Cintel Film Scanner is the world's first real time 4K film scanner to use Thunderbolt 2, making it super easy to set up and install. The new diffuse high intensity light source means the Cintel scanner runs at a smooth real time speed keeping film handling gentle and transfers super fast. The Thunderbolt 2 connection features a massive 20 Gb/s speed so you can transfer all
this data direct into your computer without quality limitations. You can even change computers simply by unplugging the single Thunderbolt cable. If you're wall mounting then you can use the
longer 30 meter Thunderbolt cables to connect to your grading computer even when hiding the cabling in the wall. With the Cintel scanner, you get the high resolution of a film scanner with the
real time use of a traditional telecine!
Renowned Cintel Quality
The
Cintel Film Scanner features a super bright spherical RGB LED illumination and an extremely sensitive imaging sensor. That means you get high quality scans that are super sharp even when running at full real time speed. The spherical RGB LED illumination ensures your priceless
film is never exposed to unnecessary thermal stress and color fading effects of traditional scanner lamps. In addition, Cintel's patented diffusing sphere technology reduces the visibility of dust
and scratches, giving you stunningly beautiful film scans every time. If you're looking for super stable scanning then the optional pin registration gate means you can run non real time frame by
frame scanning and get even tighter stability than possible when running real time! |
