Description
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.
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 colour 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 colour 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 colour 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.
Maintenance Free Connections
The Cintel film scanner is easy to set up and configure thanks to it’s Thunderbolt 2 interface. Simply connect the scanner to your Mac OS X workstation, install the software, and start scanning. That means you don’t need a dedicated engineer to operate and support the scanner. The Cintel scanner has been designed to give you the freedom to move it between machines or even plug into laptop computers so you can scan your film directly into the computer you’re going to use the content on. The HDMI output supports Ultra HD televisions for perfectly accurate focusing and film alignment using a local monitor. The HDMI output can even be converted into SDI video using Blackmagic Mini Converter HDMI to SDI 4K, perfect for connecting into your system for client monitoring.
Fast Easy Control
Using the Cintel film scanner is easy and intuitive. You get scanner control software for your Mac that includes everything you need to transfer and capture films to Ultra HD or HD files. Scanned files can also be opened with DaVinci Resolve for further colour, restoration and mastering work.
Includes DaVinci Resolve
In the past when film was the main way to get high quality images for post production, Cintel telecine's and DaVinci colour correction was the standard combination used worldwide. Now these two wonderful brands are back together again because the Cintel film scanner includes a full copy of DaVinci Resolve software. Now you get full colour correction features included so you can take advantage of the Cintel scanner’s amazing image quality. You will never be limited creatively by your equipment because you’ll have incredible film looks combined with the same powerful colour correction toolset used by the world’s leading cinematographers.
Complete Solution
The Cintel film scanner will include everything for a computer solution to film scanning and grading. You get the Cintel scanner with powerful built in Image Mill stabilization and grain reduction, a single 35mm film gate (16mm purchased separately), two film spools, a set of four cleaning rollers, Davinci Resolve software and desk mount feet included. Unlike many film products, with Blackmagic Design you can be assured there are no fees for installation, no software update fees, no ongoing license fees and no fees if you ever should want to sell your Cintel scanner or, if you want to buy a second hand one in the future there are absolutely no transfer fees.
