Blackmagic Design Cintel Scanner G3 HDR+ 8/16

The Blackmagic Cintel Scanner G3 HDR+ 8/16 is a professional real-time film scanning and restoration system designed specifically for 8mm and 16mm film. Ideal for film archives, post-production studios, museums, and restoration facilities, it converts valuable film collections into high-quality digital formats while preserving image detail and simplifying the restoration process.

Built with precision mechanical film transport and gentle capstan-driven handling, the scanner protects delicate film throughout the scanning process, reducing the risk of damage while ensuring smooth, consistent performance. Its powerful high-intensity light source delivers clean, accurate scans with excellent detail, making it ideal for preserving historical footage and restoring classic films. The scanner includes both 8mm and 16mm film gates, allowing you to digitize a wide range of film formats with ease. It is optimized for scanning 8mm film to HD and 16mm film to UHD, delivering outstanding image quality suitable for modern restoration, remastering, and archival workflows.

With Thunderbolt connectivity, the Cintel Scanner G3 HDR+ 8/16 transfers footage directly into DaVinci Resolve Studio on both macOS and Windows systems. This integrated workflow allows you to scan, edit, colour grade, restore, reframe, reduce noise, and extract audio—all within a single application—saving time while providing greater creative control than traditional hardware-only scanning solutions. Whether you're preserving family archives, restoring classic films, or digitizing historical collections, the Blackmagic Cintel Scanner G3 HDR+ 8/16 provides a fast, efficient, and professional solution for bringing legacy film into today's digital production environment.
