The Scanity scanner: why we chose it
HDR scanning up to 8K, gentle handling of fragile film and support for every film format: what sets apart the scanner at the heart of our center.
At the heart of our tape digitization and film processing center in Riyadh is the Scanity scanner, one of the leading film scanners in the world. Here is why we chose it.
High resolution
It scans film in HDR at 4K, 6K and 8K, capturing the finest detail with a wide color range.
Gentle on fragile film
Old film can be cracked, shrunken or brittle. The scanner handles it gently, removes dust and scratches using infrared, and supports wet-gate scanning, which reduces visible scratches in the digital copy.
Every format
It supports all film formats, 8mm, 16mm, 35mm and 70mm, even degraded nitrate film.
Proven reliability
Scanners of this kind are used by Hollywood studios, NASA and global archives, and now one is available inside the Kingdom, with no need to ship materials abroad.
