At Heritage Media Labs, we specialize in giving old film a new digital life — and at the heart of our restoration workflow is the powerful and precise Cintel Scanner by Blackmagic Design.
Whether it’s 8mm home footage, 16mm documentaries, or 35mm feature films, each reel holds a piece of cultural memory worth preserving. Unfortunately, film stock is vulnerable to decay, dust, scratches, and chemical breakdown. To save it, you need technology that’s both gentle and incredibly accurate.
Why We Use Cintel Scanners
Cintel is an industry-grade film scanner known for combining mechanical precision with real-time high-resolution scanning, including up to 4K HDR. It offers a stable, sprocketless transport system that minimizes damage to fragile films — a key requirement for scanning archival material.
What We Scan:
✅ 8mm & Super 8 – Often family reels, home documentaries, and early indie films
✅ 16mm – Used in TV, education, and independent cinema from the 1930s onward
✅ 35mm – The gold standard of cinema, used for feature films and global theatrical releases

The Result?
