an ARRISCAN rather than run through
an optical printer. This results in a faster
turnaround time and less manipulation of
the original historic film.
But the new film transport is not the end
of the ARRISCAN archive story. Our goal
is to develop the ARRISCAN into a device
that is able to scan 100% of all existing
film material, not stopping at the difficult
bits and pieces. That’s why ARRI has designed
new hardware options that can transform
any industry-standard ARRI SCAN
into the ultimate tool for tackling the
challenges of archive material.
Even severely damaged and shrunken film
can be scanned with standard ARRISCAN
film transport
New Sprocketless Transport System
Hope for hopeless cases – an entirely new
sprocketless transport system started to
evolve in early 2009. Beginning with a
working prototype system we undertook the
scanning of several 110-year-old Lumière
perforated films for the Italian restoration
specialists L'Immagine Ritrovata. The success
of this project not only convinced L' Immagine
Ritrovata to get an ARRISCAN Archive themselves,
but also inspired us to continue developing
this powerful tool.
The final product will be shown for first time
at NAB 2010: it is a modular transport that

Exchangeable sprocketless
transport system
can be exchanged between normal sprocket
transport and a sprocketless version in less
than one minute. Unperforated or badly damaged
material, which up until now could not
have scanned on any machine in the world,
can now be digitized in perfect quality.
Unlike the capstan transport of telecine-style
scanners, framing can be adjusted electronically
without the need of a sprocket or optical
perforation detector.
