BlackMagic is proud to announce the Cintel Scanner G2, a new second generation model of their popular real-time film scanner. Cintel Scanner G2 features the super speed of Thunderbolt 3 and PCIe host computer connections, and a new skid plate for 35 mm HDR film scanning and timecode output.
Entirely new high speed interfaces for connecting to Mac and Windows computers paired with incredibly fast 40Gb/s Thunderbolt 3 technology allow the Cintel Film Scanner G2 to connect to the latest Mac computers for realtime 4K film scanning. There's also an external PCIe interface for connecting to Windows and Linux based computers without Thunderbolt 3.
New bi-phase sync and timecode output connections lets you sync the Cintel Film Scanner G2 with your external equipment. Ideal for use with devices such as audio followers that playback mag sound track reels in sync with the film and often don't have timecode inputs using an electronic tach pulse to follow sync. When coupled with equipment that support timecode, the scanner can provide a timecode output and allow the audio device to match both position and sync. With the addition of bi-phase sync support the Cintel Scanner G2 is compatible with a wide range of historical audio devices.
The Cintel Scanner G2 has a new skid plate enabling HDR (high dynamic range) film scanning of 35mm film making it possible to meet the growing demand for 4K HDR content. The native resolution of 35mm is 4K with high dynamic range allowing you to scan existing film libraries with the Cintel Scanner G2 and recover vibrant 4K high dynamic range images for use on the latest streaming services such as Netflix and Apple TV. Support for 16mm HDR scanning will be added in a future update.
The HDR scanning features are available through DaVinci Resolve 15 Studio, which is included with the scanner. DaVinci Resolve 15 Studio features full GPU accelerated color grading and mastering support for DolbyVision, HLG, HDR and HDR10+. In addition, DaVinci Resolve 15 Studio adds new ResolveFX Revival tools for automatic dirt removal, dust busting, spot patch replacement with smart fill technology, and advanced temporal and spatial noise reduction.
