Film Scanning

Film Scanning

In this modern era of digitisation, the need to digitise films has become imperative. Over time, negative and positive prints degrade, causing the loss of their original content. The scanning and digitisation process enables these prints to be digitally transferred and preserved. Our services encompass tailored Film Scanning and digitisation using the latest ARRISCAN technology, incorporating Wet Gate and LED Technology for optimal results.

Unlike other studios that offer scanning and digitisation services, Ultra is known for its team of highly professional artists who assure consistency for minute details through a systematic procedure, which is particularly crucial and highly recommended for a 4K output.
