NoGap 2D FilmScan 8K RAW
8K DCI RAW scanner for 35mm film in fragile state
The digitization of highly fragile film, a complex problem
As a Specialist Technician in the digital department of the Filmoteca de Cataluña Conservation and Preservation Center (2CR), I had the opportunity to explore the complexity associated with the correct advancement of film material through digitization systems when physical degradation affected the integrity of the film support. The challenges that arise in these cases may require the incorporation of alternative solutions, specifically adjusted to the characteristics of these exemplars, to enable the successful completion of the digitization processes.
Background
Due to their design, the 35mm film scanners that we find on the market may not be designed to accommodate film in highly fragile states. In such equipment, the scanning process carries the possibility of causing physical damage to the material.
