NAB 2025 is in full swing, and Blackmagic Design has been among many companies to have showcased new products this year, including the brand-new Pyxis 12K G2 and a mega update for DaVinci Resolve. One announcment that did fly under the radar, however, was the all-new Cintel Scanner G3 HDR+ 8/16, a film scanner specifically designed to support 8mm HD and 16mm Ultra HD film scanning.
Cintel has been a leading manufacturer of film scanners for decades, and since joining Blackmagic Design in 2012, the Cintel Scanner has seen a redesign that places it among the best-looking pieces of tech on the market. While the Cintel Scanner G3 HDR+ Scanner has been available in a model that scans 35mm and 16mm for some time, the new offering introduces support for the 8mm HD and 16mm Ultra HD formats.
