Our Transfer Systems

We use the digital film scanner "flashscan HD" from the Berlin-based company "MWA Nova GmbH" for the transfer of your 8mm films. This scanner has been specially developed for demanding broadcast, post-production, and dubbing environments.

During operation, we can adjust the brightness, and through the special "Remote" control, influence the white balance, gamma, and black level. Thanks to the many guide rollers on the device, even films with poor perforation can pass through the scanner relatively smoothly. Thus, we really get the most out of your 8mm films!

Transfer Process

After cleaning your films, they are transferred into a raw format using the "flashscan" scanner. This raw file is then cleared of unusable scenes (black, completely overexposed, etc.), color-corrected, and contrast-optimized depending on the scene.

Only then are the processed files encoded into the format you desire and subsequently copied to your chosen media (DVD, hard disk, Blu-ray disk, USB stick, etc.). This way, we are able to deliver every conceivable format in stunning quality.

Film Cleaning

We recommend special treatment with a solution called “Film Renew” if the film has mold build-up or if it has become brittle. "FilmRenew" is rarely needed.
