The Blackmagic Cintel Scanner G3 HDR+ 8/16 is a real time film scanner built for 16mm and 8mm transfer work, scanning Super 16, 16mm, Super 8 and standard 8mm film at up to Ultra HD resolution with up to 3.5 additional stops of HDR captured through an RGB LED grid array light source. Digital servos, a capstan based transport and built in cleaning rollers keep film handling gentle across a run.
Both the 16mm and 8mm HDR gates are included in the box, so the scanner is ready to run either gauge without buying separate gate kits, and Image Mill stabilization is built in to keep scans steady even on shrunken or damaged stock.
A single Thunderbolt 3 cable connects the scanner to a Mac, Windows or Linux workstation at up to 40Gb/s, with a PCI Express interface available for systems without Thunderbolt 3. An HDMI output drives an Ultra HD monitor for focus and alignment, and bi-phase and timecode outputs sync external audio followers.
DaVinci Resolve Studio is included for grading and restoration, with OpenFX tools for dust busting, automatic dirt removal, patch replacement, deflickering and noise reduction built right into the same application the scan lands in.
