SCANITY High Performance, Cost-Effective, Multi-Application Film Scanner
   SCANITY is a film scanner that offers unprecedented speed, versatility, stability, and safe film
   handling. It serves a variety of scanning applications including, dailies, feature film mastering,
   EDL/conform scanning, low resolution browsing, archive and restoration, short-form commercials,
   as well as digital intermediate scanning.

A multitude of unique and first-to-market features provide users with cutting edge technology that addresses the challenges that many facilities are facing today. SCANITY enables facilities to improve their ROI, enhance productivity, work effectively in data-centric workflows, and service their markets with a solution that reproduces the pristine quality of film and image quality they require.

SCANITY uses efficient LED light sources, dedicated hardware processors, as well as fewer and less expensive third party components. This lowers initial costs as well as operational expenses.

SCANITY is an unparalleled piece of technology that combines skilled engineering and precision manufacturing to deliver a high-speed, flexible, and versatile film scanner.

High Speed Imaging
On 35mm 4 perf film, SCANITY scans film material in 4K resolution up to 15 fps, 2K up to 25 fps, 1K up to 44 fps, 0.5K up to 69 fps, and 0.25K up to 96 fps – depending on interfaces and receiving devices. SCANITY uses unique Time Delay Integration (TDI) line sensor technology, and dedicated FPGA image processing to deliver record-setting high-speed film scanning – all while handling film gently and safely.

35mm Roller Gate with Optical Pin Registration andContinuous Motion Capstan Film Transport

Versatile and Flexible Scanner
SCANITY is an incredibly versatile and flexible scanner that serves a multitude of scanning applications. Its speed makes it ideal for EDL/conform scanning of feature films, short-form commercial scanning, dailies scanning, low-resolution browsing, and applications that require the immediacy of live moving images. SCANITY is an excellent fit for applications where film is scanned only once. The roller gate makes it perfect for sensitive and fragile film-in restoration and archiving applications.

Gentle and Safe Film Handling
SCANITY uses a completely new and uniquely designed film gate mechanism instead of skid plates. Film travels on the Roller for approximately 170 mm (7') during which the image and optical perforation scanning takes place. The film lies stable on the roller, and the high resolution tacho wheel (which is attached to the roller) provides control pulses to precisely manage the movement of the film supported by the optical perforation detection. This method is the most gentle way to transport and scan the film, and besides from the rollers, there are no mechanical parts. The rubbercoated and newly designed continuous capstan drives the film smoothly and securely, and is a well proven concept that is used in the Spirit family of scanners.

Stability and Steadiness
SCANITY provides touch-free pin registration rather than mechanical pins to ensure excellent image steadiness. Several newly designed modules meet this goal and include: An optical perforation detection device with dedicated camera. A precision roller gate for mechanically stabilizing the film, which is controlled by a high resolution tacho and servo system. A continuous motion capstan film transport. And dedicated hardware for 4K image stabilization processing without delay. With these key elements, SCANITY combines steadiness with high speed and gentle film handling.

Workflow Efficiencies
SCANITY includes two control interfaces; a local touch-screen display, and a workstation with dual displays. Through these two interfaces, users can control the scanner, perform image quality checks, and adjust a variety of technical settings. The work-station includes software tools for monitoring, calibration, image ingest, and executes scheduled batch processing during scanner idle times.
SCANITY also integrates seamlessly with the comprehensive set of Bones and Bones Dailies post production software tools. Bones helps users create workflows that are tailored specifically to individual needs.
