Blackmagic Design announced that Tokyo Laboratory LTD (Togen), a film laboratory with 60 years of history, has installed Blackmagic s new Cintel Film Scanner, where it will be used to provide real time, Ultra HD digital film scanning and keycode telecine.

We were looking for a successor to our current telecine system, said Naoki Moriizumi, manager in the Digital Process Group of Togen. Cintel is capable of scanning in real time, as well as capturing both images and audio so we can use it like a telecine system. Furthermore, we use DaVinci Resolve Studio as a grading system, so we know that we will be able to work using both Cintel and Resolve.

It is good that Cintel supports three perforations, said Togen colorist Yasuhiro Matsumoto. These days filming with three perforations is widely used for DI and TV commercials. Regular film uses four perforations shooting, with those shot on film but delivered digitally using three perforations shooting. And it is a great that Cintel can be synchronised to flash a light source in the centre of a flame, even though it keeps running while scanning. Also, there is no distortion as films are kept as flat at scanning. It is great to be able to get 4K30P scanning in real time with this price range.

The keycode telecine, which is used to create video with keycode burnt in for offline material is also a feature the scanner provides. Currently we capture tape which we did with HD telecine, and burn in keycode using Resolve, and then export it as QT file for offline editing. The workflow will be improved drastically using Cintel Film Scanner, as we can capture images into Resolve directly, concluded Katsuji Nishino, general manager in the Image Media Department at Togen.
