  dataMill Scanning System
  dataMill  is  a versatile film scanner, designed to meet the commercial requirements of post production
  as it moves towards a data or digital intermediate environment. It is the most viable,cost effective,digital
  intermediate  scanning  solution available today, providing high resolution, true 2Kimages at speeds of
  up to 15 frames per second,and true 4K images at speeds of up to 3.75 frames per second.
                                                                                                                                                                                                      

→  dataMill  enables  easy,  cost  effective  and  flexible  scanning  in  a  range  of  situations,  making  fully digitised post
  production a reality.
  dataMill  uses  proven  technology to produce an accurate data representation of your acquired film image. It provides
  accurate, automatic calibrated log or linear files.
   
dataMill  is  capable  of  scanning  at  various  resolutions  and  in  all  formats – in  fact  it is the only commercial film
  scanner capable of handling film formats from Super 8 to 65/70mm.
   
dataMill enables  users  to  keep abreast of the changes and challenges of the industry as it embraces a digital future.
  dataMill  employs  a  flexible,  future-proof  architecture, which combines excellent image stability and image resolution
  into a highly productive and cost effective scanner.
   
Faster scanning – dataMill can scan images at 2K  resolution at 15 frames per second, which is 15 times faster than
  its nearest competitor. Simply put, this means you will see a return on your investment 15 times faster!
   
Suitable for all environmentsdataMill  is  modular  in  design, which makes it an extremely versatile option,that can
  grow  with  you  as  your  needs  change.  Its  modularity protects you from potential unseen demands from your market
  place. dataMill  has  been  designed  to  fulfil  the  needs  of  the  digital intermediate market, but it is equally at home in
  applications such as effects, commercials or restoration.
   
Multi-resolution and multi-format – dataMill  can  scan  film  at 2K, 3K and 4K data resolutions,and in all film formats
  from Super 8 to 65/70mm.
